"Unveiling the Extraordinary Jet Structure of the Most Powerful Gamma-Ray Burst"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers studying the Brightest of All Time (BOAT) gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, have discovered an unusual jet structure that may explain its extreme nature and prolonged visible afterglow. The jet exhibited a narrow core with wide sloping wings, different from other gamma-ray bursts. These findings challenge standard theories and will drive future studies of gamma-ray bursts, prompting the development of more complex models and simulations.
