UNAWE Space Scoop - Gamma-ray Bursting With Surprises

https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2222/gamma-ray-bursting-with-surprises/ Fron Dec 12, 2022. In 2021, NASA’s Fermi & Swift space telescopes simultaneously picked up a powerful flash of gamma rays - named GRB 211211A, that was unusually close to our planet, only about a billion light-years away. So this GRB is one of the last GRBs to happen.  A late bloomer! The beauty of it being so close by is that astronomers could now study this newly discovered long GRB in great detail.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
