Kilonova Explosion Triggered Due to Bizarre Long Gamma-Ray Burst Coming From Merging Stellar Corpses
The new discovery made about the long gamma-ray burst detected in December 2021 is all set to change theories regarding the origins of the universe's most powerful explosions. Check the tweet below for videos.
Scientists have made a new discovery that could change theories regarding the origins of the universe's most powerful explosions. A powerful 50-second blast of high-energy radiation called a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected in December 2021 from a source 1.1 billion light-years away. That high-energy blast of radiation has now been traced back to the collision of two neutron stars and the kilonova explosion that resulted from the violent merger of stellar corpses.
