The international CTAO LST Collaboration has released remarkable findings from observations of GRB 221009A—the brightest ...

Lasting a matter of minutes, the gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, was observed by astronomers in October 2022. It has since been dubbed the "B.O.A.T.", the brightest of all time.

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, accompanied the GRB.

Scientists have announced a never-before-seen energy peak that resulted from the largest gamma ray burst in history, NASA ...

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Three researchers associated with the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) discovered the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected, approximately 2.4 billion light-years away.

Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions the cosmos has to offer, besides the Big Bang—the explosion that happened 13.77 billion years ago that marks the beginning of time. The BOAT was ...

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

The October 22 gamma ray burst was the brightest and the closest one astronomers have ever seen — and it was 2.4 billion light years away. According to NASA, that was a one in ten thousand year ...

Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever. NASA astronomers were blown away last week by what was far and away the strongest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed. NASA/Swift/Stefan Immler, et al.

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.
