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.
This wasn't any average starburst; it was a gargantuan gamma-ray burst (GRB), dubbed the B.O.A.T. (Brightest Of All Time) for good reason. Fast forward a few months, and scientists using the ...
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Approximately a year and a half ago, a massive star collapsed and exploded 2 billion light-years away from Earth creating the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded ...
It's the brightest GRB ever observed ... 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 ...
April 12 (UPI) --Scientists at Northwestern University said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed in October 2022 was the destruction of a star ...
In October 2022, an international team of researchers, including Northwestern University astrophysicists, observed the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, GRB 221009A. Now, a ...
The brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, resulting from the collapse and subsequent explosion of a massive star, was first detected by space observatories in October 2022. Now, an ...
In October 2022, several space-based detectors picked up a powerful gamma-ray burst so energetic that astronomers nicknamed it the BOAT (Brightest Of All Time). Now they've confirmed that the GRB ...
