Gamma-Ray Burst: A Milestone Explosion
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) were discovered by accident, first detected 30 years ago by Vela satellites. These satellites were designed to monitor nuclear test ban treaties, but their sensors picked up sudden flashes of gamma-rays from space. This histogram shows the abrupt jump in gamma-ray counts, marking a milestone explosion that opened a new window into extreme cosmic events.
