What Is A Gamma Ray Burst

Cosmic Gamma Ray Burst

Fitchburg and Leominster MA News. - So, what's a gamma-ray burst? This is the single scariest event in the universe, Plait says:
"We lack words in the English language to adequately describe how terrifying these objects are."

It can occur if a star that's much more massive than our sun blows up and the inner part of it collapses into a black hole. More important, friction and magnetism cause two beams of energy to go screaming out of the explosion at the speed of light.
"It's the entire energy that the sun will give off over its entire lifetime, packed into these two cosmic blowtorches that just eat their way across the universe," Plait says.

Yowza. But before you start making your "The end is near!" signs, we're really pretty safe. Plait says there are only two starts that may become gamma-ray bursts, and both of them are 8,000 light-years away. So, we are in a safe spot, at least this type of cosmic dangerous events.

Learn more about it just search it on your Amazon Kindle, and get some goo ebooks about the sun, stars, and cosmic events.
