In 2022, astronomers discovered the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) of all time. Now, astronomers confirm that a 'normal' supernova, the telltale sign of a stellar collapse, accompanied the GRB.

“In our research group, we’ve been referring to this burst as the ‘BOAT,’ or Brightest Of All Time, because when you look at the thousands of bursts gamma-ray telescopes have been ...

Lasting a matter of minutes, the gamma-ray burst, named GRB 221009A, was observed by astronomers in October 2022. It has since been dubbed the "B.O.A.T.", the brightest of all time.

Northwestern University scientists said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed in October 2022 was an exploding star, known as a supernova, 2.4 ...

The brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded recently lit up a distant galaxy — and astronomers have nicknamed it the BOAT, for Brightest of All Time. “We use the boat emoji a lot when we’re ...

The ‘Brightest of All Time’ Gamma-Ray Burst Sparks a Supernova Hunt Telescopes around the world are capturing photons from the blast, and researchers anticipate exciting discoveries ahead.

though few make it all the way to Earth's surface, as the atmosphere absorbs the vast majority before they can ever make it down to hurt us. However, a sufficiently large gamma-ray burst could ...

Brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen a 1-in-10,000-years event that's 'absolutely monstrous,' scientists say : Read more I wonder what a narrow beam looks like by the time it gets here from that ...

The brightest gamma-ray burst in human history was recently detected, scientists with the American Astronomical Society (AAS) announced on Tuesday. Nicknamed the BOAT, Brightest of All Time, NASA ...

The gamma-ray burst dubbed "the BOAT," or the brightest of all time, has a unique jet structure that may explain its extreme nature and why its afterglow persisted for so long.

Scientists at Northwestern University said Friday they had confirmed that the cause of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed (the circled infrared afterglow and host galaxy pictured 1-2 ...
