GRB 080916C is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) that was recorded on September 16, 2008, in the Carina constellation and detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.The burst lasted for 23 minutes (1400 s).
The Space Variable Objects Monitor is a small X-ray telescope satellite for studying the explosions of massive stars by analysing the resulting gamma-ray bursts, developed by China National Space Administration (CNSA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the French Space Agency , [45] launched on 22 June 2024 (07:00:00 UTC).
GRB 190114C was an extreme gamma-ray burst explosion from a galaxy 4.5 billion light years away (z=0.4245; [2] magnitude=15.60est [3]) near the Fornax constellation, [4] [5] [6] that was initially detected in January 2019.
The explosion, observed on March 7, was the second brightest gamma-ray burst ever witnessed by telescopes in more than 50 years of observations, over one million times brighter than the entire ...
Astronomers have spotted a record-breaking gamma ray burst, the most energetic type of electromagnetic explosion in the universe. ‘Most powerful explosion ever’ detected by telescopes Skip to ...
Now new research claims to have shown that the explosion is in fact a nearly perfect sphere, and is completely symmetrical. Scientists have pursued a number of possible explanations – such as ...
The burst saturated the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope's detector, [17] which captured gamma ray photons with energies exceeding 100 GeV. [18] GRB 221009A is by far the most productive event for very high-energy photons ever witnessed by scientific instrumentation.
The solar system might have been hit by the brightest explosion ever seen, scientists have said. The pulse of intense radiation began its life in a cosmic explosion two billion light years away ...
