TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have discovered evidence of gamma-ray bursts emerging from the collisions of stars, rather than from black holes, neutron stars, or the violent deaths of stars. The discovery was made using observations made by the Gemini South telescope in Chile, the Nordic Optical Telescope, and the Hubble Space Telescope. The team hopes to match a gamma-ray burst like GRB 191019A with gravitational waves, which would be found using a detector like LIGO. Cutting-edge observatories like the Webb Space Telescope may help to see more intimate phenomena, like regions of stellar birth.
