Scientists detected a powerful gamma-ray burst from a supernova that exploded when the universe was only 730 million years old, making it the most distant such event ever observed. The discovery, confirmed by multiple telescopes including JWST, challenges previous assumptions about early star formation, showing that even in the universe's infancy, stars could undergo processes similar to those seen today.
A record-breaking gamma-ray burst lasting nearly seven hours was observed, challenging existing models of such cosmic explosions. The event, originating from a dusty galaxy billions of light-years away, involved a high-speed jet of material and may have resulted from various extreme astrophysical processes. This unprecedented observation offers a unique opportunity to study extreme physics in the universe.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has observed the oldest supernova, GRB 250314A, dating back to when the universe was only 730 million years old, providing new insights into early star deaths and galaxy formation.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered the most distant supernova to date, occurring when the universe was only 730 million years old, providing new insights into early star and galaxy evolution and confirming predictions about high-energy cosmic events.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered the earliest supernova in the universe, occurring just 730 million years after the Big Bang, providing new insights into early star and galaxy evolution, and potentially marking the most distant supernova observed to date.
Scientists observed GRB 250702B, the longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, lasting over seven hours and originating from a dusty galaxy 8 billion light-years away, challenging existing models of such explosions and possibly caused by a massive star's death, a black hole merger, or a helium star-black hole interaction.
Scientists observed the longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, GRB 250702B, which lasted over seven hours and originated from a dusty galaxy 8 billion light-years away, challenging existing models of such explosions and possibly caused by the death of a massive star, a black hole merger, or a related event.
Astronomers observed GRB 250702B, a gamma-ray burst with an unprecedented duration of nearly a day and possible repetition, originating from a large, dusty galaxy over five billion light-years away. Its unusual characteristics suggest it may result from an exotic event such as a massive star collapse, a tidal disruption event, or a black hole-star merger, potentially indicating a new type of cosmic explosion.
Astronomers using JWST observed a rare, extremely energetic gamma-ray burst, GRB 250702B, emitting over 2 x 10^54 ergs—more energy than typical supernovae and lasting just 10 minutes, challenging existing theories about such phenomena and their origins.
Astronomers have recorded the longest gamma-ray burst ever, GRB 250702B, lasting about 7 hours, which may have been powered by a black hole merging with a star, indicating a potentially new type of cosmic event beyond traditional models.
Astronomers observed an unusually long and repeating gamma ray burst, GRB 250702B, which may be caused by a stellar-mass black hole devouring a star from the inside, challenging existing theories about such cosmic events.
Scientists have detected the 'heartbeat' of a newborn magnetar within a gamma-ray burst, revealing that some GRBs are powered by magnetars rather than black holes, which challenges previous understanding and opens new avenues for cosmic research.
Astronomers observed a unique gamma-ray burst lasting nearly a day, challenging existing theories and suggesting the involvement of an intermediate-mass black hole, with investigations ongoing to determine its origin and energy output.
Scientists observed a mysterious, long-lasting gamma-ray burst that lasted nearly a day, unlike typical bursts that last milliseconds to minutes. The event, detected by NASA and Chinese space telescopes, appears to originate from beyond our galaxy and may involve an unusual black hole or a star being torn apart, making it a unique and puzzling cosmic phenomenon.
Scientists observed a mysterious gamma-ray burst lasting nearly a day, unlike any previously recorded, and are exploring explanations involving unusual black holes or stellar events, but its exact cause remains unknown.
