Gamma Ray Burst 🥵

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful and violent explosions in the known universe. These brief flashes of high-energy light result from some of the universe's most explosive events, including the birth of black holes and collisions between neutron stars.

Lasting a few milliseconds to several minutes, according to NASA, GRBs can be hundreds of times brighter than an average supernova, making them as luminous as a million trillion suns. Thus, when a GRB erupts, it briefly becomes the brightest source of electromagnetic radiation in the observable universe.

The first observation of a GRB came on July 2, 1967, thanks to the Vela 4A satellite, part of a series of X-ray, gamma-ray, and neutron-detecting spacecraft designed to monitor any nuclear testing by the Soviet Union or other nations.

The GRB was documented in 1969 and was revealed in a paper published in 1973 after the findings were declassified. Between 1971 and 1973, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory examined several GRBs detected by Vela satellites and determined that gamma-ray bursts are indeed "of cosmic origin."
