The gamma-ray burst was ten minutes long, [1] but was detectable for more than ten hours following initial detection. [2] [3] Despite being around 2.4 billion light-years away, it was powerful enough to affect Earth's atmosphere, having the strongest effect ever recorded by a gamma-ray burst on the planet.
At 15:44:06 UT on 7 Mar 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230307A . [6] at the same time, the Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor light curve shows a roughly fast rise and exponential decay (FRED) shape with a possible precursor, with a total duration of ~100 sec. [7] At 2023-03-07T15:44:09Z UT (Solar Orbiter onboard ...
It is the most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded. It has been deemed to be the "B.O.A.T.", or Brightest Of All Time. It had the highest fluence and peak flux ever identified, by a large margin. [14] It also holds the record for highest energy burst recorded if released isotropically, beating GRB 080916C. [14]
The brightest gamma ray burst ever detected recently reached Earth. It’s 70 times longer than any other burst we’ve spotted.

Astronomers have spotted a record-breaking gamma ray burst, the most energetic type of electromagnetic explosion in the universe. ‘Most powerful explosion ever’ detected by telescopes Skip to ...
During this collapse, energy may be released as a momentary burst of gamma-rays aligned to the axis of rotation. In gamma-ray astronomy, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are immensely energetic events occurring in distant galaxies which represent the brightest and "most powerful class of explosion in the universe."
