Watch an animation of a black hole shooting jets of particles through a "collapsing star at nearly the speed of light" and ...

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 2022.

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 ...

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 ...

The gamma-ray burst (GRB) known as the Brightest Of All Time (BOAT) had an emission line in its afterglow, the first time one has been detected with confidence in any GRB. The astronomers who ...

The brightest gamma-ray burst of all time came from a supernova but mysteriously didn't show signs of heavy elements.

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.

In October 2022, astronomers were stunned by what was quickly dubbed the BOAT - the brightest-of-all-time gamma-ray burst. Now an international science team reports that data from the Fermi Gamma-ray ...

The brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, resulting from the collapse and subsequent explosion of a massive star, was first detected by space observatories in October 2022. Now, an ...

Scientists confirmed that the phenomenon responsible for the historic burst - dubbed the B.O.A.T. ('brightest of all time') - is the collapse and subsequent explosion of a massive star.
