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 ...

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

Astronomers are trying to understand what caused a series of gamma ray bursts, or GRBs — the most powerful explosions in the universe. These energetic bursts are typically unleashed by the incendiary ...

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 ...

"If this is a massive star, it is a collapse unlike anything we have ever witnessed before." Astronomers have spotted a cosmic explosion of high-energy gamma-rays unlike any ever seen before. The ...

Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new field in space science. The first was discovered in the late 1960s, and in the nearly six decades since, there’s never been a discovery quite like this. It may ...

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

GRB 250702B was spotted in July. ESO / A. Levan, A. Martin-Carrillo et al. Astronomers have spotted a gamma-ray explosion unlike any they’ve seen before, with the help of multiple telescopes, ...

A team of astronomers have observed an explosion in the universe unlike any ever witnessed before. The gamma-ray bursts from outside the Milky Way galaxy repeated several times over the course of a ...
