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 ...

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 ...

A gamma ray burst — possibly the brightest of all time — sweeps over Earth The explosion, dubbed GRB 221009A, came just as astronomers were gathering at a symposium on gamma-ray astrophysics ...

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.

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.

The brightest gamma-ray burst in human history was recently detected, scientists with the American Astronomical Society (AAS) announced on Tuesday. Nicknamed the BOAT, Brightest of All Time, NASA ...

This image shows the location of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, GRB 221009A, 2.4 billion light years away in the direction of the constellation Sagitta.

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.

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 ...

The ‘Brightest of All Time’ Gamma-Ray Burst Sparks a Supernova Hunt. Telescopes around the world are capturing photons from the blast, and researchers anticipate exciting discoveries ahead.
