According to Space.com, on April 27, two Swift space telescopes and the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope detected the highest energy gamma-ray burst (GRB) from the explosion of a throne. Big stars in its final stages.

NASA scientists note that this is the highest energy gamma-ray burst, as well as the longest ever.

"This GRB is so long that terrestrial telescopes can be noted while cosmic observations are still ongoing ," said Julie McEnery, a scientist with NASA's Fermi gamma telescope project. to speak.

NASA scientists have named this gamma-ray burst as GRB 130427A and have assembled observable images into a graphic video to clarify the surprising light intensity of this historic explosion.
