NASA’s BurstCube satellite, a shoebox-sized CubeSat, has successfully detected its first gamma-ray burst (GRB)—one of the ...

Gamma rays detected by NASA's Fermi spacecraft indicate that microquasars are powered by small black holes slowly devouring ...

A long-lost cosmic explosion, buried within two decades of NASA's Chandra X-ray data, has finally been uncovered by astronomers using artificial intelligence. This incredibly powerful and fleeting ...

like our mission's gamma-ray detector, but also important learning opportunities for the up-and-coming members of the astrophysics community." Provided by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center ...

Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year.

On March 15, 2024, a space-based observatory detected bursts of low-energy X-rays from deep in the ancient universe, ...

One of those detections was EP240408a, an unusual blast that lit up discussions between astronomers. Zhang and his colleagues ...

According to their calculations, the observed data best matches the theoretical values that would be seen if GRB represented ...

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024. At a glance, it appeared to be a run-of-the-mill gamma ray burst, which ...

NASA's Fermi Telescope visualizes gamma rays from the blazar 3C 279, revealing high-energy processes near supermassive black holes. NASA's simulation shows a supermassive black hole, illustrating ...
