Thunderstorms are known to generate gamma rays, the highest energy radiation on Earth. But pinning the burst to a specific bolt is new.

This visible-light afterglow can be photographed with medium to large-sized telescopes on Earth for hours, days, or even weeks following the initial gamma-ray burst. The afterglow starts to fade ...

before we can jump into our gamma ray-powered rockets to explore the neighboring galaxy, scientists have to overcome the beam coherence problem. Back in 2019, University of California, Riverside ...
