After NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Swift Observatory spotted the BOAT, , an international team of astronomers ...

For instance, radio wave data revealed that GRB 221009A was 70 times brighter than any previously observed gamma-ray burst, so it is indeed the BOAT (thus far)—likely a one-in-10,000-year event.

Space & Spaceflight 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 international CTAO LST Collaboration has released remarkable findings from observations of GRB 221009A—the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded.

On Oct. 9, 2022, the orbiting Swift and Fermi gamma-ray detectors observed the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever seen: GRB 221009A. Astronomers around the world quickly responded by turning as ...

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.

In October 2022, spacecraft and sensors worldwide picked up what scientists are now calling the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected. It was so bright and intense that the burst created a ...

The BOAT gamma-ray burst re-appeared from behind the sun in February, and Swift continues to observe the afterglow, albeit not quite as often (about 10,000 seconds once a week).

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 ...

A gamma-ray burst, which lit up our galaxy last October, was the "brightest burst" ever seen and a once-in-10,000-year explosion, according to NASA.

The brightest burst ever seen, known as GRB 221009A, was first detected on Oct. 9, 2022 by gamma-ray and X-ray telescopes. The likely supernova that caused the burst was 2.4 billion light-years ...

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 ...
