🪐 In 1997, the BeppoSAX satellite pinpointed the source of a gamma-ray burst—GRB 970228—to a faint galaxy about 8 billion light-years away, confirming that gamma-ray bursts can originate far beyond our own Milky Way. This discovery revealed that these bursts are not just local events but are among the most powerful explosions in the universe, releasing in seconds as much energy as the Sun will emit over its entire lifetime. ✨ #gamma-ray-bursts ⚡#explosions⚡#distant-universe ⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels
