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 ...

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.

A Self-Guided Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum : Gamma rays It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

The gamma ray burst as seen by the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton observatory. Image: ESA/XMM - Newton/M. Rigoselli (INAF) On October 9, 2022, a gamma ray burst brighter than any before seen ...

On April 27, NASA’s Fermi and Swift satellites detected a strong signal from the brightest gamma-ray burst in decades. Because this was relatively close, it was thousands of times brighter than ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
