Researchers have detected a gamma-ray burst outside of the Milky Way that's unlike any previously observed. There's no ...

Astronomers may have recorded the violent birth of one of the weirdest objects our Universe is capable of producing. In a bizarre gamma-ray space explosion whose light reached Earth in 2023, a team ...

A giant explosion that lit up the sky didn't just rock the cosmos – it absolutely rattled our understanding of the Universe's most powerful outbursts. The gamma-ray burst (GRB) recorded on 2 July 2025 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. On October 9, 2022, astronomers detected a big bang. But while not ...

For over a decade, a star system on the verge of unleashing a deadly gamma ray burst appeared to have its guns trained on Earth. The so-called “Death Star,” which is also famed for looking like a ...

Astronomers are trying to determine what caused a series of gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe, to occur in a single day.

For a few seconds every day, Earth is bombarded by gamma rays created by cataclysmic explosions in distant galaxies. Such explosions, similar to supernovae, are known as ‘gamma-ray bursts’ or GRBs.

With prototype milestones achieved, the team eyes a 2026 launch, aligning with India’s surge in youth-driven space missions.

Thunderstorms are far more radioactive than previously thought, routinely producing gamma rays—the highest-energy form of electromagnetic radiation typically associated with supernovas and other ...

The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...
