NASA's NuSTAR Observes Strange Energy Jet in Record-Breaking Cosmic Explosion
TL;DR Summary
NASA's NuSTAR X-ray telescope has provided new insights into the brightest and most energetic gamma-ray burst ever detected, known as GRB 221009A or BOAT. The burst had a unique jet structure with a narrow core, wider sides, and a variance in energy depending on distance from the core. The phenomena observed in the burst were documented by NuSTAR and multiple X-ray telescopes. Scientists think GRB 221009A represents the birth of a new black hole formed within the heart of a collapsing star.
