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 ...

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.

Explosions typically connected to black holes and dying stars may happen right in our planet's atmosphere, too. The most powerful explosions in the known universe come from what are known as gamma-ray ...

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 ...
