We are also creating a table of the past gamma-ray bursts and the observations of the ozone layer and trying to see if they match,” he said. Nature Communications, 2023. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023 ...

New research helps resolve the mystery surrounding strange long gamma-ray bursts, suggesting these blasts of high-energy radiation emerge from collisions of neutron stars that birth black holes.

Shrouded in mystery for decades, gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions since the Big Bang and emerge from only the most violent cosmic events.

The first gamma-ray bursts were discovered by accident in the 1960's, by spy satellites looking for gamma-rays from secret nuclear bomb tests.

Long gamma-ray burst stems from neutron star merger, not usual supernova explosion. Jennifer Ouellette – Dec 7, 2022 6:44 pm | 54 Artist’s impression of GRB 211211A.

Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions the cosmos has to offer, besides the Big Bang—the explosion that happened 13.77 billion years ago that marks the beginning of time. The BOAT was ...

A huge surge of gamma-ray energy from space caused electric currents to flow through the surface of the Earth on October 9, scientists have said.. This gamma-ray burst, named GRB221009A, is the ...

Lasting a matter of minutes, the gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, was observed by astronomers in October 2022. It has since been dubbed the "B.O.A.T.", the brightest of all time.

His research, which analyzed more than 7,000 gamma-ray bursts, found that these events only occur once every 10,000 years. Overview Animation of Gamma-ray Burst by NASA Video on YouTube. The ...

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. In just a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst blasts out the same amount of energy that the Sun will radiate throughout its entire life.

NASA has confirmed that our solar system was struck by a gamma-ray burst originating 1.9 billion light-years away that was brighter than any since the beginning of human civilization in a "1 in ...
