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

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 ...

13 billion light years away. The burst, dubbed GRB 090423, was detected by NASA’s Swift satellite the burst’s origin. Data from Swift’s Ultraviolet/Optical (blue, green) and X-Ray (orange and red) ...

Although scientists have believed for some time that most gamma-ray bursts are very distant, a Goddard scientist has discovered 100 of them that are quite “local,” within 325 million light years from ...

A nimble new NASA space observatory will attempt to solve one of astronomy's most elusive mysteries: the source of brief, massive cosmic explosions whose might is exceeded by only the theorized big ...

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 ...

So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and helium, and fluctuations of energy and matter set into motion the formation of ...
