In October 2022, an international team of researchers, including Northwestern University astrophysicists, observed the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, GRB 221009A. Now, a ...
Astronomers have determined what caused the brightest cosmic explosion ever recorded. Lasting a matter of minutes, the gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, was observed by astronomers in October 2022.
The gamma-ray burst blinded gamma-ray telescopes on Earth and shook the upper parts of our planet's atmosphere.
James Webb Space Telescope observations show no sign of heavy elements. In October 2022, an international team of researchers ...
In October 2022, our telescopes caught something breathtaking – a cosmic flash brighter than anything we'd ever seen. This wasn't any average starburst; it was a gargantuan gamma-ray burst (GRB ...
After a journey lasting about two billion years, photons from an extremely energetic gamma-ray burst (GRB) struck the sensors on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space ...
April 12 (UPI) --Scientists at Northwestern University said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed in October 2022 was the destruction of a star ...
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.
April 12 (UPI) --Scientists at Northwestern University said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed in October 2022 was the destruction of a star, known ...
Artist's visualization of GRB 221009A showing the narrow relativistic jets — emerging from a central black hole — that gave rise to the GRB and the expanding remains of the original star ...
