The recent discovery of a new gamma-ray source by an international team of scientists has revolutionized our understanding of the most energetic parts of the universe. This gamma-ray source, dubbed the brightest gamma-ray burst in the universe, is located in a distant galaxy known as GRB 790305B. The bursts of gamma-ray radiation are so intense that they can be detected even from billions of light years away. These gamma-ray bursts are believed to be caused by the collapse of massive stars, and the new source is the first to be detected since the original discovery in 1967. Scientists are still debating what causes these bursts, but the data gathered by this new source may provide insight into the nature of these powerful events.
