This is the first time an object in its class has been detected in X-rays. The discovery could lead to a better understanding ...

For instance, radio wave data revealed that GRB 221009A was 70 times brighter than any previously observed gamma-ray burst, so it is indeed the BOAT (thus far)—likely a one-in-10,000-year event.

Gamma rays can only be detected by sensors made of dense metals and takes over six feet (1.8 meters) of concrete to block.

Combining the way that massive galaxies and galaxy clusters bend space and magnify our view of the distant universe with ...

This stunning Hubble view of spiral galaxy UGC 11397 captures more than graceful arms and glowing stars—it hides a ravenous ...

This has prevented directly observing the source, but radio waves associated with the burst have penetrated and could remain visible as an afterglow for decades to come. Gamma-ray brightness of ...

Loaded up with sensors to detect gamma rays, radio waves, visible light and more, the aircraft flew over storms in the Caribbean and Central America.

Learn about the electromagnetic spectrum, the order of the waves, their uses and dangers with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

Gamma rays are less dirty than radio waves, according to Kerr. A demonstration of the ripples in space-time via black hole merger. MARK GARLICK/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Science Photo Library/Getty Images ...

The October 22 gamma ray burst was the brightest and the closest one astronomers have ever seen — and it was 2.4 billion light years away. According to NASA, that was a one in ten thousand year ...
