| Black hole birth captured: Biggest, brightest to happen in at least 20 years Posted: 21 Nov 2013 11:23 AM PST Intelligent telescopes designed by Los Alamos National Laboratory got a front row seat recently for an unusual birth. "This was the burst of the century," said James Wren, one of the scientists involved in the discovery. "It's the biggest, brightest one to happen in at least 20 years, and maybe even longer than that." |
| The era of neutrino astronomy has begun Posted: 21 Nov 2013 11:22 AM PST Astrophysicists using a telescope embedded in Antarctic ice have detected the mysterious phenomena known as cosmic neutrinos -- nearly massless particles streaming to Earth at the speed of light from outside our solar system, striking in a powerful burst of energy. Researchers now will try to detect the cosmic neutrinos' source. |
| Monster gamma-ray burst in our cosmic neighborhood Posted: 21 Nov 2013 11:22 AM PST Gamma-ray bursts are violent bursts of gamma radiation associated with exploding massive stars. For the first time ever, researchers have observed an unusually powerful gamma-ray burst in the relatively nearby universe -- a monster gamma-ray burst. |
| Astronomers reveal mystery of brightest ever Gamma-ray Burst Posted: 21 Nov 2013 11:21 AM PST For the first time, a team of astronomers from around the world have used data from satellites and observatories to explain the brightest Gamma-ray Burst ever recorded. |
