The gamma-ray burst blinded gamma-ray telescopes on Earth and shook the upper parts of our planet's atmosphere.

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.

This wasn't any average starburst; it was a gargantuan gamma-ray burst (GRB), dubbed the B.O.A.T. (Brightest Of All Time) for good reason. Fast forward a few months, and scientists using the ...

It's the brightest GRB ever observed ... particularly exciting because some had hypothesized that a luminous gamma-ray burst like the B.O.A.T. could make a lot of heavy elements like gold and ...

James Webb Space Telescope observations show no sign of heavy elements. In October 2022, an international team of researchers ...

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.

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 ...
