Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions the cosmos has to offer, besides the Big Bang鈥攖he explosion that happened 13.77 billion years ago that marks the beginning of time. The BOAT was detected on the morning of October 9, 2022, by the Gemini South telescope in Chile, operated by the National Science Foundations NOIRLab. Its official name is GRB 221009A. It occurred 2.4 billion light-years from Earth and was exceptionally long-lasting, as well as 70 times brighter than any previously recorded gamma-ray burst. The BOATs sup
stanley becher erlative brightness was confirmed in March; while not likely to actually be the brightest of all time, one researcher stated at the time that it is likely the brightest burst at X-ray and gamma-ray energies to occur since human civilization began. A 1-in-10,000-year event, ripe for scientific observation. Now, the LHAASO Collaboration short for the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory reports extremely high-energy gamma rays from the BOAT. The star that bore the gamma-ray burst was more than 20 times heavier than the Sun, and the burst lasted hundreds of seconds. In a paper published
stanley quencher today in Science Advances, the collaboration described over 140 gamma-rays with energies exceeding 3 teraelectronvolts, between 3.5 minutes and 15 minutes after the event began. The g

Iceberg A-68 is the sixth large
stanley cup st iceberg ever recorded. At the time of calving, the 2,240 square mile 5,800 square km iceberg weighed about 1,000 billion tons, and encompassed an area roughly the size of the state of Delaware. Freed from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, A-68 began to slowly drift north鈥攕lowly being the key word. As the new timelapse shows, this massive chunk of ice is in no rush. Adrian Luckman and Martin OLeary from Project MIDAS, a UK-based Antarctic research project thats investigating the effects of climate change on the Larsen C ice shelf, say the iceberg hasnt drifted far on account of dense sea-ice cover in
stanley kubek the Weddell Sea. The iceberg has been pushed around by ocean currents, tides, and winds, and its northern end has repeatedly been grounded in shallower water near Bawden Ice Rise, write Luckman and OLeary in a statement. These groundings led eventually to further pieces of the iceberg being shattered off in May 2018. The new pieces arent large enough to be given their own identification labels, but the total
stanley cup area lost from A-68 in May alone was about the size of a small city, the researchers write. Over time, the iceberg will continue to inch northward toward the open sea, a process that could take decades. Scientists estimate that A-68 lost about 12 percent of its total mass over the past year. Even so, its still huge. The calving of Larsen C last July kindled a debate among scientists as to the cause. Some scientists claim its a natural, cyclica
