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.

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.
