NASA’s BurstCube satellite, a shoebox-sized CubeSat, has successfully detected its first gamma-ray burst (GRB)—one of the ...

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has surveyed the sky for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the universe’s most luminous ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed ...

NASA scientists will use the satellite to identify, pinpoint, and analyze short gamma-ray bursts, which are brief and strong flashes of light. This high-energy light holds clues to some of the ...

In fact, Nasa is tracking hundreds of asteroids set ... It's a fair game. A nearby gamma-ray burst could kill us all. And they can move at close to the speed of light, so oblivion would strike ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

O'Connor (UMD/GWU) and J. Rastinejad & W Fong (Northwestern Univ) NASA's Swift telescope captured the "afterflow" of the powerful gamma-ray burst about an hour after the agency detected the event.

"In addition, the bursts were extremely rapid, with the first occurring over less than a ... "This is the region where the detector on NASA's orbiting Compton Gamma Ray Observatory makes observations.

The Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) is the deepest image of the Universe, created from a decade of observations in the Fornax constellation. Hubble captured the massive galaxy cluster MACS ...

I worked at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, USA before coming to Michigan Tech. I am perhaps best known scientifically for papers predicting, usually among others, several recovered ...

The brightest gamma-ray burst of all time, or the BOAT, was spotted in October 2022. The 1-in-10,000-year event showcased the extremity of gamma rays in our universe, and raised more questions ...
