A Beam of Gamma Radiation Aimed Precisely at Earth

A few months ago , astronomers begin studying the bright plosion ever abide by : A massive Vasco da Gamma radiation burst that film out of a star as it was crock up into a black hole . The plosion was so bright that people could see it with their nude eye . Now all the astrophysicists who watched the detonation have done their post - mortems and have discovered something awesome and strange . The gamma burst was train almost exactly at Earth , which is why investigator were able to see a stream of affair move at almost the speed of visible light . No , it was n’t an alien signal , though that would be cool . It was just by hazard that one of the gamma radiation bursts zoomed to Earth at 99.99995 percent the hurrying of light . In a account published today in Nature , the researchers say that this is in all likelihood the fastest matter in the world , and that it comes roll inside a slimly slower - strike , wider jet of affair . One of the scientists reported that the inner , super - fast jet is so narrow that it ’s “ 1/100th the angulate size of the full Moon . ” So Earthlings were golden indeed to be in its path to make these watching . According to PhysOrg :

Dr. Jonathan Granot from the University of Hertfordshire , lead theorist on the paper , explain “ What really ca-ca this GRB unparalleled is its extremely bright quick ocular emission ( visible with the naked - centre ) , which coincide in time with the gamma - rays , and was recorded with amazing time firmness of purpose . The optical and gamma - beam are in distinguishable spectral components , get by a different discharge mechanisms , but most in all likelihood came from the same physical region , far from the primogenitor asterisk . ”

I still intend there ’s room here for a confederacy theory . Jet just happen to tally Earth ? And we ’re still not sure if the optical rays and gamma rays come from the same event ? Is this a substance hide in a da Gamma ray burst ? ! Hey , that ’s how it would happen on Star Trek , OK?Naked Eye Gamma Burst Aimed at Earth[via PhysOrg ]
