Brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen a 1-in-10000-years event that's 'absolutely monstrous,' scientists say An extragalactic outburst whose light hurtled through the inner solar system last fall was 70 times brighter than any other such eruption that scientists have observed, researchers report. Radiation from the explosion — a gamma ...

NASA missions study what may be a 1-In-10000-year gamma-ray burst He led an analysis of some 7,000 GRBs—mostly detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Russian Konus instrument on NASA's Wind spacecraft—to establish how frequently events this bright may occur. Their answer: once in every 10,000 years.

Fast radio burst linked with gravitational waves for the first time Astronomers have long predicted that two neutron stars — a binary — merging to produce a black hole should also produce a burst of radio waves. The two neutron stars will be highly magnetic, and black holes cannot have magnetic fields.
