For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

In 2022, astronomers discovered the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) of all time. Now, astronomers confirm that a 'normal' supernova, the telltale sign of a stellar collapse, accompanied the GRB. The ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new discovery in space science. The first burst was discovered in the late 1960s. You might be wondering ...

Gamma-ray bursts are a relatively new field in space science. The first was discovered in the late 1960s, and in the nearly six decades since, there’s never been a discovery quite like this. It may ...

The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

A new study suggests that explosive events in space have the potential to temporarily switch off the natural shield that protects us from harmful solar radiation. By Katrina Miller On Oct. 9, 2022, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This image provided by the European Southern Observatory shows a powerful explosion, orange dot at the center of the image, that ...

Gamma-ray flares from blazars can be accompanied by high-energy neutrino emission. To better understand this phenomenon, an international research team has statistically analyzed 145 bright blazars.

A tremendous cosmic explosion 2.4 billion light years away temporarily changed the electric field in Earth’s ionosphere (the electrically-charged upper layer of our atmosphere that helps shield life ...
