Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense bursts of gamma radiation, typically generating more energy in a few seconds than the sun ...
The gamma-ray burst blinded gamma-ray telescopes on Earth and shook the upper parts of our planet's atmosphere.
Astronomers believe they have found a rare, massive flare that erupted from an extremely magnetic dead star, or magnetar, ...
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.
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Approximately a year and a half ago, a massive star collapsed and exploded 2 billion light-years away from Earth creating the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, according ...

An enormous burst of gamma rays from 2.4 billion light-years away that struck Earth last year has been revealed to be caused ...
This project can help us learn about the history of the Universe.
A team led by Northwestern University has confirmed the event behind the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded. This explosion, detected in 2022, was nicknamed B.O.A.T., standing for ...
When faraway stars explode, they send out flashes of energy called gamma-ray bursts that are bright enough that telescopes back on Earth can detect them. Studying these pulses, which can also come ...
