"NASA Swift and AI Measure Record-Breaking Gamma-Ray Burst Distance"

NASA's Swift satellite and AI have been used to measure the distances of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with unprecedented precision. Led by Maria Dainotti, the research employs multiple machine learning models to overcome current observational limitations, enhancing our understanding of the universe's expansion and star evolution. The studies reveal that GRBs can be observed at various distances, aiding in cosmological research, and suggest that some GRBs may result from neutron star mergers rather than massive star collapses.
