The ‘Brightest of All Time’ Gamma-Ray Burst Sparks a Supernova Hunt. Telescopes around the world are capturing photons from the blast, and researchers anticipate exciting discoveries ahead.

The brightest gamma-ray burst in human history was recently detected, scientists with the American Astronomical Society (AAS) announced on Tuesday. Nicknamed the BOAT, Brightest of All Time, NASA ...

This image shows the location of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, GRB 221009A, 2.4 billion light years away in the direction of the constellation Sagitta.

The gamma-ray burst was so powerful that it showed up in the scientific data of spacecraft that aren’t even equipped with gamma-ray detectors, including orbiters at Mars and Voyager 1.

The brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, resulting from the collapse and subsequent explosion of a massive star, was first detected by space observatories in October 2022. Now, an ...
