The most powerful space explosion ever seen keeps baffling astronomers
- Leah Crane
A #gamma #ray #burst observed in 2022 was brighter than any explosion ever spotted before, and follow-up observations are threatening to break our understanding of how these blasts work
The most powerful explosion ever seen may break our understanding of how these cosmic cataclysms, called long gamma ray bursts (#GRBs), work.
The burst was spotted in October 2022, and it is proving difficult to explain despite continued observations and analyses by researchers around the world.
When the burst, called #GRB221009A, was spotted, astronomers dubbed it “the #BOAT” – the brightest of all time.

For nearly two decades, #astrophysicists have believed that long gamma-ray bursts (#GRBs) resulted solely from the collapse of massive #stars. Now, a new study upends that long-established and long-accepted belief.
