A “game-changing” cosmic explosion was caused by the collision of two super-dense stars, according to a team of scientists.
Over the past year, researchers have studied a “high-energy bust” from the outskirts of the galaxy, some 1 billion light years away from Earth, that lasted about a minute.
The blast, named GRB 211211A, detected by NASA ’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has “rattled” experts’ understanding of the universe, according a NASA report.
