If you’ve lived in or visited Manhattan, the landmarks at the epicenter would be familiar – One World Trade, Wall Street, the Brooklyn Bridge. This is rightly strong in the emotional stakes.

Space & Spaceflight Scientists Just Caught Lightning Firing Off a Gamma-Ray Blast The split-second spark may explain how storms become radioactive—and how lightning really begins.

Back in 2004, telescopes like INTEGRAL, Konus-WIND, and RHESSI all saw a delayed gamma-ray signal a few minutes after the initial flare. Scientists didn’t know what to make of it.

The recently discovered soft X-rays were traced back to GRB 240315C, a gamma-ray burst first detected by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, with additional ...

Woah. Blast Radius In 2018, astronomers took the first-ever picture of a black hole, a fascinating and unprecedented glimpse of an event horizon.
