The Host Galaxies of Long-Duration GRBs
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Astrophysicists are still studying the cause of gamma-ray bursts, but the longest ones seem to involve very massive stars. New images from the Hubble Space Telescope provide a clue. These images show that long-duration gamma-ray bursts typically come from galaxies and regions of galaxies with active star formation and bright, massive stars.
