Computer artwork of a gamma ray burst
Gamma ray burst. Computer artwork of a gamma ray burst. These are extremely high-energy events which flare up at random places throughout the universe. The burst, a flash of radiation shown with two jets here, may be as bright as the rest of the universe combined for a few seconds. They are thought to be extremely distant, up to 12 billion light years away. It is thought that they may be the result of a neutron star being torn apart by a black hole. The conditions within the burst itself, a volume only 100 miles across, are thought to be similar to those that were present about one millisecond (one thousandth of a second) after the Big Bang

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of a gamma ray burst. These extraordinary events, characterized by their immense energy, occur unpredictably across the vast expanse of our universe. In this image, we witness a dazzling display of radiation emanating from a central point and extending into space as two powerful jets. The sheer brightness of these bursts is truly mind-boggling; for a fleeting moment, they can outshine the entirety of the cosmos combined. It is astonishing to contemplate that these awe-inspiring occurrences could be located an astonishing distance away - up to 12 billion light years from our own planet. Scientists theorize that gamma ray bursts may arise when a black hole mercilessly tears apart a neutron star. Within the confined volume depicted here, measuring only 100 miles in diameter, conditions are believed to resemble those present merely one millisecond after the colossal event known as the Big Bang. This remarkable artwork not only captures the beauty and intensity of these enigmatic cosmic explosions but also serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our celestial surroundings. As we continue to explore and unravel mysteries beyond Earth's boundaries, images like this remind us just how small we are in comparison to the grandeur and complexity of our ever-expanding universe.
