Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense bursts of gamma radiation, typically generating more energy in a few seconds than the sun ...
The gamma-ray burst blinded gamma-ray telescopes on Earth and shook the upper parts of our planet's atmosphere.
Astronomers believe they have found a rare, massive flare that erupted from an extremely magnetic dead star, or magnetar, ...
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.
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Approximately a year and a half ago, a massive star collapsed and exploded 2 billion light-years away from Earth creating the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, according ...

Astronomers just caught a dead star in a distant galaxy throwing a massive temper tantrum.
This project can help us learn about the history of the Universe.

While ESA's satellite INTEGRAL was observing the sky, it spotted a burst of gamma-rays -- high-energy photons -- coming from the nearby galaxy M82. Only a few hours later, ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray space ...
