Astronomers have re-examined the biggest explosion ever seen, possibly the most massive explosion since the Big Bang, to learn more about mysterious blasts of high-energy called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).
Aptly named the "Brightest Of All Time," or the "BOAT," and officially designated GRB 221009A, this is the most powerful GRB ever detected. And that's no mean feat, considering that a typical GRB can release as much energy in seconds as it will the sun its entire lifetime of 10 billion years to radiate.
