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.

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 ...

“We believe that this source is now likely a gamma-ray burst,” it read ... But this time, millions of photons were collected. “They all kind of get jumbled together,” she says.

though few make it all the way to Earth's surface, as the atmosphere absorbs the vast majority before they can ever make it down to hurt us. However, a sufficiently large gamma-ray burst could ...

The brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded recently lit up a distant galaxy — and astronomers have nicknamed it the BOAT, for Brightest of All Time. “We use the boat emoji a lot when we’re ...

“In our research group, we’ve been referring to this burst as the ‘BOAT,’ or Brightest Of All Time, because when you look at the thousands of bursts gamma-ray telescopes have been ...

Astronomers have determined what caused the brightest cosmic explosion ever recorded. Lasting a matter of minutes, the gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, was observed by astronomers in October ...

The gamma-ray burst was so powerful that it showed up in the scientific data of spacecraft that aren’t even equipped with gamma-ray detectors, including orbiters at Mars and Voyager 1.

Astronomers Stunned by Brightest Gamma Ray Burst Ever Recorded The astounding outburst came from a galaxy 2 billion light-years away. It's the "BOAT"—the brightest of all time.

Radiation from the explosion — a gamma-ray burst (GRB) known as GRB 221009A ... earning the nickname the BOAT, short for "brightest of all time." Astronomers continued studying the BOAT ...
