We are also creating a table of the past gamma-ray bursts and the observations of the ozone layer and trying to see if they match,” he said. Nature Communications, 2023. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023 ...

Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions the cosmos has to offer, besides the Big Bang—the explosion that happened 13.77 billion years ago that marks the beginning of time. The BOAT was ...

His research, which analyzed more than 7,000 gamma-ray bursts, found that these events only occur once every 10,000 years. Overview Animation of Gamma-ray Burst by NASA Video on YouTube. The ...

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. In just a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst blasts out the same amount of energy that the Sun will radiate throughout its entire life.

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.

NASA has confirmed that our solar system was struck by a gamma-ray burst originating 1.9 billion light-years away that was brighter than any since the beginning of human civilization in a "1 in ...

A huge surge of gamma-ray energy from space caused electric currents to flow through the surface of the Earth on October 9, scientists have said.. This gamma-ray burst, named GRB221009A, is the ...

Multiple telescopes observed a rare cosmic explosion called a kilonova that created heavy elements in space, including some necessary for life.

Earth just got zapped. On Sunday a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the most powerful class of explosions in the universe, caused a wave of gamma rays and X-rays to sweep over Earth. It was also possibly ...

The first gamma-ray bursts were discovered by accident in the 1960's, by spy satellites looking for gamma-rays from secret nuclear bomb tests.

The brightest burst ever seen, known as GRB 221009A, was first detected on Oct. 9, 2022 by gamma-ray and X-ray telescopes. The likely supernova that caused the burst was 2.4 billion light-years ...
