COSMIC MESSAGE
Gamma-ray bursts were discovered by accident, first recorded thirty-three years ago today. Satellites like Vela, originally designed to monitor nuclear test ban treaties, detected these sudden flashes. The data here show an abrupt jump in the satellite's gamma-ray instrument count rate, indicating such an explosion.
