Gamma Ray Burst is the most violent explosion in the universe. When a massive star dies, a violent explosion occurs and becomes an supernova , which will produce gamma burst , like a straight and strong light. Recently, astronomers have discovered that it may be the most powerful cosmic explosion detected so far.
Comprehensive foreign media reports that on October 9, multiple observatories and Fermi Gamma-ray space telescopes detected an gamma-ray burst. This time, the gamma-ray raid was called "GRB 221009A" and burst out with strong light, causing NASA's astronomical satellite Neil Grails Swift Observatory to observe gamma-ray raids to be triggered many times. Generally speaking, the gamma-ray raid will only be triggered once.
Astronomers said that this time, GRB 221009A is 10 times brighter than other gamma-ray bursts, and may be the most powerful cosmic explosion detected so far.
After detailed research and observation, astronomers discovered that "GRB 221009A" occurred in the direction of Sagittarius 2.4 billion light years from the earth. This gamma ray burst lasted as high as 10 hours. According to the huge energy released and the long-term explosion, it may be caused by a huge star with a mass of up to 30 times the sun. However, after the gamma ray burst, a supernova needs to be found, and astronomers are currently searching.
