Brightest-ever gamma-ray burst (the “BOAT”) continues to puzzle astronomers No evidence of associated supernova, and afterglow radio data contradicts current models.

Some scientists think they’ve found the signature of a supernova buried in the afterglow of the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed. Others aren’t so sure.

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.

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 ...

Brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed reveals new mysteries of cosmic explosions Date: March 28, 2023 Source: Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Summary: Scientists believe the gamma ...

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.

The brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded recently lit up a distant galaxy — and astronomers have nicknamed it the BOAT, for Brightest of All Time. “We use the boat emoji a lot when we’re ...

Maia Williams, a research technologist at Penn State and a member of Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory's Missions Operation Center, was on call the day that the brightest gamma-ray burst ever ...

Last year, scientists detected the brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen, and it continues to leave them scratching their heads — here's why.

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.
