Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic events ever observed in the universe. These powerful outbursts can shine a ...

Gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful kinds of explosions known in the cosmos, may help provide a piece of the puzzle when it ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

The origin and the central engine of GRBs have long been pending for identification. Now a joint observation by LEIA and ...

That means a gamma-ray burst can put out more energy than the sun would emit over many trillions of years, if our star was even capable of living longer than around 10 billion years. Gamma-ray ...

Gamma rays are also used to produce medical images ... The intense UV emitted by the Sun is absorbed by your skin and can cause sunburn or even damage DNA in your body cells – which could ...

An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can now detect solar flares occuring on the side of the sun it cannot see. This could help scientists better understand solar ...

New research suggests that the largest cosmic structure is even bigger and closer to Earth than we knew. It goes against ...

Here’s how it works. The "cosmic pinwheel" that astronomers feared could one day shower Earth with lethal gamma rays may not be as dangerous as once thought, a new study suggests. At the heart ...

A new way to locate peat soils using gamma ray detectors mounted on aircraft has been developed by Irish scientists. Most of Ireland’s peatlands emit carbon because of land drainage and peat ...

Kerr's team has now managed to obtain improved timing solutions and detected gamma-ray pulsations from all these four MSPs, which are designated PSR J0646−5455, PSR J1803−4719, PSR J2045− ...
