NASA is currently studying an intense gamma-ray burst that is dubbed the "brightest of all time."
On Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022, a pulse of intense radiation swept through the solar system so exceptional that astronomers quickly dubbed it the BOAT – the brightest of all time. The source was a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the most powerful class of explosions in the universe. Now, after combing through all of this data, astronomers can characterize just how bright it was and better understand its scientific impact.
The gamma-ray radiation ‘jet’ has been travelling for 1.9 billion years.
The “absolutely monstrous” cosmic blast is estimated to be a 1-in-10,000-year event
