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 ...

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

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.

The brightest gamma-ray burst yet recorded gave scientists a new high-energy feature to study. Learn what NASA’s Fermi mission saw, and what this feature may be telling us about the burst’s ...

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 brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded was caused by the collapse and explosion of a massive star, astronomers have discovered. Dubbed the B.O.A.T. (‘brightest of all time’) a team of ...

“This event is particularly exciting because some had hypothesized that a luminous gamma-ray burst like the B.O.A.T. could make a lot of heavy elements like gold and platinum,” said study co ...

Jul 26, 2024: Fermi telescope finds new feature in brightest gamma-ray burst yet seen (Nanowerk News) In October 2022, astronomers were stunned by what was quickly dubbed the BOAT — the ...
