Lasting a matter of minutes, the gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, was observed by astronomers in October 2022. It has since been dubbed the "B.O.A.T.", the brightest of all time.

Northwestern University scientists said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed in October 2022 was an exploding star, known as a supernova, 2.4 ...

A gamma ray burst — possibly the brightest of all time — sweeps over Earth The explosion, dubbed GRB 221009A, came just as astronomers were gathering at a symposium on gamma-ray astrophysics ...

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.

Scientists Have Found the 'BOAT' Gamma Ray Burst—the Brightest of All Time They say there hasn't been a brighter one in all of human history. By Jackie Appel Published: Mar 31, 2023 10:30 AM EDT ...

Northwestern University scientists said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed in October 2022 was an exploding star, known as a supernova, 2.4 ...

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 ...

Because the emission spans nearly all wavelengths of light, many different instruments can observe it, which has turned the gamma-ray burst postmortem into a global scientific event.

The October 22 gamma ray burst was the brightest and the closest one astronomers have ever seen — and it was 2.4 billion light years away. According to NASA, that was a one in ten thousand year ...

The once-in-a-millennium blast of energy — later dubbed the Brightest of All Time (BOAT) — has continued to puzzle scientists, who say it was 70 times brighter than the second most powerful burst on ...
