Gamma rays are much shorter in wavelength than visible ... Astronomers have sent x-ray telescopes into orbit to scan the sky, to catch the first x-ray afterglow of a burst as soon as possible.

For this reason, there are not many images of astronomical objects in gamma wavelengths. This one, a gamma-ray image of the entire sky as seen from earth, took 18 months to create.

Gamma-ray bursts are observed occurring all across the sky at a rate of about one per day, though their true number is probably much larger. If one were to occur close to Earth, say in the Milky ...
