An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...

Previous research also indicated that Earth looks down the axis of this system, known as Wolf-Rayet 104, raising concerns ...

At interstellar distances, the neutrinos are not a problem. Well, what about other wavelengths of light like x-rays and gamma rays? The good thing here is that supernovae tend not to produce copious ...

A new study explains how thunderstorm electric fields produce strong gamma‐ray glows with oscillating gamma‐ray rates, and that these oscillations develop into intense pulse trains that closely ...

For over a decade, a star system on the verge of unleashing a deadly gamma ray burst appeared to have its guns trained on ...

A cubesat, a type of small satellite in the shape of a cube with 10-centimetre-long edges, GRBAlpha was designed as technological proof that a spacecraft that small could detect what is known as a ...

Here’s how it works. The "cosmic pinwheel" that astronomers feared could one day shower Earth with lethal gamma rays may not be as dangerous as once thought, a new study suggests. At the heart ...

A new study has shed light on the orbital alignment of the well-known Wolf-Rayet 104 (WR 104) system, long considered a potential threat due to its speculated gamma-ray burst (GRB) risk. Observations ...

We could pull a Bruce Willis in Armageddon, maybe. It's a fair game. A nearby gamma-ray burst could kill us all. And they can move at close to the speed of light, so oblivion would strike very ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), has developed StarBurst, a small satellite (SmallSat) instrument for NASA's StarBurst ...
