A Slow Explosion

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

A gamma-ray burst recorded last October faded unusually slowly. This behavior provides a new clue into the causes of gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe. The HETE satellite first detected the burst, and ground-based telescopes tracked its slow, tumultuous decay in visible light. Scientists are investigating various explanations for this unusual light curve.
