Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, marking the end of a star's life. A particularly bright ...
The brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected is revealing new mysteries as scientists study it in greater detail. In two new papers – one published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters ...
In October, scientists were stunned by the detection of the brightest gamma ray burst, intense explosions observed in distant galaxies, known to man. Dazzled by its striking flash, scientists ...
Scientists have revealed how Nasa satellites detected the brightest gamma ray explosion in space. The gamma-ray burst (GRB) occurred two billion light-years from Earth and illuminated much of the ...
A team of astronomers recently uncovered the largest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. Dubbed AT2021lwx, the blast is measured ...
Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a gamma ray burst that they’ve labeled “the brightest of all time.” Yet a gamma ray burst is only a single exploding star. When far more mass is ...
This event, called GRB221009A, was a gamma ray burst (GRB) and has been dubbed “the BOAT” – the brightest of all time(8 April, p 19). Eric Burns at Louisiana State University and his ...
Impossible' neutron stars could explain strange flashes — Astronomers identify 1st twin stars doomed to collide in kilonova explosion — Brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen a 1-in ...
That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a great circuit to measure even relatively weak radiation sources. It uses a very small photodiode, and draws so little ...
Cosmic gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have fascinated scientists and the public alike since their discovery in the late 1960s. Their story is told here by some of the scientists who participated in their ...
