Scientists warn that a gamma-ray burst (GRB)—one of the most powerful explosions in the universe—could severely damage Earth’s atmosphere, disrupting weather patterns, the ozone layer ...

Ten flights with the plane, NASA’s ER-2 aircraft, captured the shimmer of gamma-ray outbursts over a variety of timescales and intensities, suggesting that the emissions are more complex and ...

It strictly holds in all experiments done to date. Now, a group from China has looked at the most powerful gamma ray burst ever seen and found that the photons it emitted at the same time arrived ...

While the gamma ray laser (also known as a “graser”) is still conceptual, it’s considered one of the most important problems in physics. Invisible to our eyes, gamma rays burst from ...

In October 2022, astronomers were stunned by what was quickly dubbed the BOAT -- the brightest-of-all-time gamma-ray burst (GRB). Now an international science team reports that data from NASA's ...

The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) will study gamma-ray emissions in the galaxy using a spacecraft in low Earth orbit. Credit: UC Berkeley WASHINGTON — NASA has selected SpaceX to launch ...

In October 2022, several space-based detectors picked up a powerful gamma-ray burst so energetic that astronomers nicknamed it the BOAT (Brightest Of All Time). Now they've confirmed that the GRB ...

In 2022, astronomers discovered the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) of all time. Now, astronomers confirm that a 'normal' supernova, the telltale sign of a stellar collapse, accompanied the GRB.

Dubbed the "brightest of all time," or the BOAT, a gamma-ray burst detected in 2022 continues to astound astronomers, revealing severe effects in Earth's atmosphere. When you purchase through ...

Image: ESA/XMM-Newton/M. Rigoselli (INAF) The gamma-ray burst, affectionately dubbed ‘BOAT’ (Brightest of All Time), has been found to emit gamma-rays with energies reaching up to 13 ...
