Unprecedented Gamma Ray Burst Detected Across Solar System, Shattering Brightness Records

A powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) that had traveled 2.4 billion years reached the solar system on October 9, 2022. Detected by spacecraft including STEREO A, Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, THEMIS, and MAVEN, the GRB's brightness allowed for observations and triangulation of its source. The study highlights the impact of high-energy phenomena on the heliosphere and emphasizes the importance of scientific collaboration and pooling data from various spacecraft.
