One of those detections was EP240408a, an unusual blast that lit up discussions between astronomers. Zhang and his colleagues ...

The event is designated EP240408a, as it was first detected by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on 8 April 2024. At a glance, it appeared to be a run-of-the-mill gamma ray burst, which ...

On March 15, 2024, a space-based observatory detected bursts of low-energy X-rays from deep in the ancient universe, ...

The discovery could require us to change the way we explain the extraordinary explosions known as gamma-ray bursts, said Liu Yuan, co-first author of the paper and a scientist from National ...

Astronomers are trying to understand a mysterious cosmic explosion that the Einstein Probe spacecraft spotted in April last year.

This visible-light afterglow can be photographed with medium to large-sized telescopes on Earth for hours, days, or even weeks following the initial gamma-ray burst. The afterglow starts to fade ...

The gamma-ray burst (GRB) blinded gamma-ray telescopes on Earth and shook the upper parts of our planet’s atmosphere, researcher Tanmoy Laskar said. READ NEXT: Students walk out of Utah middle ...

Highly energetic explosions in the sky are commonly attributed to gamma-ray bursts. We now understand that these bursts originate from either the merger of two neutron stars or the collapse of a ...

An illustration shows a gamma-ray burst erupting from a dying massive star. (Image credit: Robert Lea (created by Canva)) First detected in 1967, gamma-ray bursts may be much more familiar to ...

Recently, China’s Tianguan satellite (Einstein Probe Satellite) detected a gamma-ray burst EP240315a. It's the first time to ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) ...

China Einstein Probe EP astronomical satellite has for the first time in human history detected soft X-ray signals from an ...
