Astronomers detected gamma-ray burst GRB 190829A on August 29, 2019
This was relatively close to the Earth compared to previous gamma-ray bursts
It was a billion light years away, where others are 20 billion light years away
The team were able to monitor the energetic afterglow radiation for three days
The German astronomers say the burst likely marked the moment when a large star died in a supernova explosion and began its transition into a black hole
Promising new drugs to potentially treat COVID-19 have been identified by a new study using X-ray screening. A study published this month in the journal Science reveals that 37 compounds have been identified as binding to SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), responsible for viral replication.

Star Swallowed by Supermassive Black Hole Sends Ghostly Particle to Earth
A high-energy particle, thought to have been sent our way by a supermassive black hole hundreds of millions of years ago, has collided with Earth and offered astronomers a rare insight into black holes.
Supermassive black holes are behemoths hiding in the centers of galaxies. Their gravitational force is so strong that if an unlucky star gets too close to it, the star will be shredded into pieces.
Astronomers call this a tidal disruption event. The black hole then swallows the remains of the star, temporarily giving off light, as the black hole is full of energy.

On Oct. 1, 2019, Earth was struck by an invisible, high-energy cosmic bullet moving at almost the speed of light. Trillions of these intergalactic bullets pass through our bodies every
