Astronomers are trying to understand what caused a series of gamma ray bursts, or GRBs — the most powerful explosions in the universe. These energetic bursts are typically unleashed by the incendiary ...

In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark ...

A flash of high-energy light from deep space has forced astronomers to rethink what they thought they knew about the most violent explosions in the universe. The event, a strange gamma-ray burst that ...
