"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...
New research uncovers how black holes inherit magnetic fields from collapsing neutron stars, explaining their powerful jets.
Scientists have long known that thunderstorms can produce gamma rays, extremely high-energy light that is more often associated with astrophysical phenomena, such as exploding stars and matter ...
Black holes expel powerful jets of charged particles that lead to luminous bursts of gamma rays, all made possible by each ...
