COSMIC MESSAGE

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are one of astronomy's greatest mysteries, with spectacular explosions occurring about once a day. No one knows what causes them or how far away they are. This map shows the positions of over 800 bursts detected by the BATSE instrument on NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, distributed randomly across the sky.
