Unlike other gamma-ray twin star systems found by chance, a direct search for gamma rays revealed the newfound binary system 1FGL J1018.6-5856 about 15,000 light-years away.

A gamma-ray burst, the most powerful kind of explosion known in the universe, may have triggered a mass extinction on Earth within the past billion years, researchers say.

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 ...
