COSMIC MESSAGE

Gamma-ray bursts, or GRBs, are intense explosions of gamma rays that light up the sky about once a day. This map shows the positions of over 800 GRBs detected by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory's BATSE instrument. Their causes and distances are still a significant mystery in modern astronomy, making them a subject of ongoing research.
