It also had the brightest UVOT afterglow ever recorded once corrected for extinction. [46] It had the largest amount of energy ever recorded in the TeV range, [47] and had the most energetic photons ever recorded for a GRB, peaking at 18 TeV. [25] [20] The burst was ten times brighter than any previous GRB detected by the Swift mission. [48]

The earliest known earthquake in the U.S. state of California was documented in 1769 by the Spanish explorers and Catholic missionaries of the Portolá expedition as they traveled northward from San Diego along the Santa Ana River near the present site of Los Angeles. Ship captains and other explorers also documented earthquakes.
The star system, located 3,000 light-years from Earth and typically too dim to be seen with the naked eye, is expected to reach a level of brightness similar to that of Polaris, or the North Star.
South Carolinians may soon have the chance to view a spectacular stellar event that happens once a generation. According to NASA, the T Coronae Borealis, nicknamed the Blaze Star, lies 3,000 light ...
SN 1054 remnant (Crab Nebula)A supernova is an event in which a star destroys itself in an explosion which can briefly become as luminous as an entire galaxy.This list of supernovae of historical significance includes events that were observed prior to the development of photography, and individual events that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.
The solar system might have been hit by the brightest explosion ever seen, scientists have said. The pulse of intense radiation began its life in a cosmic explosion two billion light years away ...
GRB 200522A is believed to have been formed when two neutron stars collided and exploded, creating an extremely large and bright short-ray gamma burst.The brightness of the emission was 10 times that of predicted, and was around 10,000 times more powerful than the sun in its entire 10 billion year lifetime.
