Astrophysicists capture astonishing images of gamma-ray flare from supermassive black hole M87 The jet is tens of millions of times larger than the black hole's event horizon Date: ...

The highest-resolution image of gamma rays ever captured. As Vela pumped out gamma rays like “a lighthouse at night,” according to a press statement, this stack of film suspended in Earth’s ...

A groundbreaking new survey from China’s LHAASO observatory has unveiled powerful ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emissions across ...

A new image from NASA's Fermi space telescope shows gamma rays — the highest-energy form of light — filling faraway bubbles of hot gas created by massive stars. IE 11 is not supported.

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. In just a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst blasts out the same amount of energy that the Sun will radiate throughout its entire life.

Thunderstorms are a 'boiling pot' of gamma rays, scientists find Big thunderstorms continuously emit gamma rays that are undetectable from the ground, two studies said on Wednesday, upending what ...

On October 9, 2022, telescopes detected one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts ever! A gamma-ray burst (GRB) is an extremely energetic and bright explosion observed from distant galaxies and can last ...

retired couple in Elkwood, VA took two gamma-ray images their son received from NASA, back in 1993, and turned them into spectacular coverlets. One image, of the Crab and Geminga pulsars, is on ...

Even as detailed images of distant galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope show us more of the greater universe, scientists still disagree about how life began here on Earth. One hypothesis ...

Scientists know thunderstorms emit very short TGFs, as well as longer gamma-ray flashes, which can last from minutes to hours. ... In May 2019, ESA created the first-ever photo of a TGF, ...

So, Kebukawa and a new team wanted to see whether radiation could have contributed to the formation of amino acids in early meteorites. The researchers dissolved formaldehyde and ammonia in water, ...
