GRB 080916C is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) that was recorded on September 16, 2008, in the Carina constellation and detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.The burst lasted for 23 minutes (1400 s).
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] It was the brightest and most intense GRB detected by KONUS-Wind. [1]
First short burst with a detected afterglow and a possible host galaxy (not unique). GRB 050709: z = 0.161 [Ref 6] HETE-2: First short burst with a detected optical counterpart. GRB 050724: z = 0.258 [Ref 7] Swift: First short burst with a detected radio, optical, and X-ray counterpart, as well as an unambiguous association with an elliptical ...

The Space Variable Objects Monitor is a small X-ray telescope satellite for studying the explosions of massive stars by analysing the resulting gamma-ray bursts, developed by China National Space Administration (CNSA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the French Space Agency , [45] launched on 22 June 2024 (07:00:00 UTC).
23 April 2014: Swift detected the strongest, hottest, and longest-lasting sequence of stellar flares ever seen from a nearby red dwarf star. The initial blast from this record-setting series of explosions was as much as 10,000 times more powerful than the largest solar flare ever recorded. [44]
What researchers are calling a "Once-in-a-lifetime event," is a nova, or explosion, between two suns 3,000 lightyears away. 'Once-in-a-lifetime event': Explosion in space to look like new star ...
