The gamma-ray burst (GRB) occurred two billion light-years from Earth and illuminated much of the galaxy. Images of the rare and powerful cosmic phenomenon show a halo and "bullseye" like shapes.

While astrophysicists previously believed that only supernovae could generate long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), a 2021 observation uncovered evidence that compact-object mergers also can generate the ...

What If a Gamma-Ray Burst Hit a Black Hole? Last year, scientists reported that they had seen evidence that gamma-ray bursts could come out of mergers between neutron stars and another compact ...

Cosmic gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have fascinated scientists and the public alike since their discovery in the late 1960s. Their story is told here by some of the scientists who participated in their ...

Fast radio bursts — fleeting blasts of energy that are brighter than entire galaxies — remain mysterious. Here's what we know (and don't know) about FRBs.

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 measure moderately saturated ...
