Astronomers have conducted multiwavelength observations of a recently detected fast X-ray transient designated EP241107a.

Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the cosmos. Astronomers think most occur when the core of a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, collapses under its own weight, and forms a ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new discovery in space science. The first burst was discovered in ...

A cosmic explosion known as GRB 250702B is by far the longest gamma-ray burst astronomers have ever seen—if it’s even one at ...

Astronomers detected a gamma-ray burst so bright, it effectively blinded most gamma-ray instruments in space. The pulse of intense radiation traveled for about 1.9 billion years to reach Earth.

Scientists at top-tier research institutions have made a significant breakthrough by recreating miniature versions of cosmic ...

NASA astronomers recently spotted a burst of radiation that was quickly crowned the "BOAT": the brightest of all time. The source of the radiation, which NASA said "swept through the solar system" on ...

March 29 (UPI) --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. Astronomers have been studying the ...

While tracking an incredibly bright gamma-ray burst to its origins, scientists uncovered a hidden explosion that could upend decades of research. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
