An enormous burst of gamma rays, detected by ESA’s Integral space telescope, has struck Earth. The blast caused a significant disturbance in our planet’s ionosphere….
Physicists have detected the most energetic light ever observed emanating from the sun. Sometimes, the best place to hide a secret is in broad daylight….
Scientists from Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics have introduced a new method to…
Astronomers studying a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) with the Gemini South telescope, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, may have detected a never-before-seen way to destroy a…
Researchers studying GRB 221009A, the Brightest of All Time (BOAT) gamma-ray burst, found its jet exhibited an unusual structure, which may explain its extreme nature…
An unusually powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB 211211A), detected from a nearby galaxy, has been linked to a neutron star merger by an international team of…
Astrophysicists reveal the sun is beaming down gamma rays with energies higher than ever measured. The gamma rays lose energy in Earth’s atmosphere, meaning they…
They also discovered a bright optical emission. Joseph Shklovsky, one of the pioneers of modern astrophysics, posited that a star’s existence is an eternal struggle…
Last year, telescopes around the world registered the brightest cosmic explosion of all time. Astrophysicists can now explain what made it so dazzling. Few cosmic…
For the first time, an international team of astronomers has observed a long gamma-ray burst near the center of an ancient galaxy. This is special…
Astrophysicists have discovered a new mechanism for star destruction and gamma-ray burst generation, originating from stellar collisions in the dense environments near supermassive black holes…
Researchers at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory have detailed the complete light curve of high-energy photons from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) for the…
Researchers have reached a significant milestone in the field of quantum gravity research, finding preliminary statistical support for quantum gravity. In a study published in…
Observations by NASA’s NuSTAR X-ray telescope give astronomers new clues about the brightest and most energetic gamma-ray burst ever detected. Scientists detected the brightest gamma-ray…
Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, marking the end of a star’s life. A particularly bright burst, GRB 221009, was recently…
The merging of neutron stars, generating potent gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), is crucial for the creation of heavy elements in the universe. However, a 2021 discovery…
Scientists have analyzed the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever detected, named the BOAT (Brightest Of All Time) and GRB 221009A, which was observed by NASA’s…
