[quote:Strawberrymittens:MV8xOTk3NzgwXzMzNTU4MTY5X0IzODYxNUY3] Oh I see, thank you! This was the info it gave on the Nasa site: [color=darkblue] Gamma-ray bursts are short-lived bursts of gamma-ray photons, the most energetic form of light. At least some of them are associated with a special type of supernovae, the explosions marking the deaths of especially massive stars. Lasting anywhere from a few milliseconds to several minutes, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) shine hundreds of times brighter than a typical supernova and about a million trillion times as bright as the Sun, making them briefly the brightest source of cosmic gamma-ray photons in the observable Universe. GRBs are detected roughly once per day from wholly random directions of the sky.[/color] [quote:psyoptics:MV8xOTk3NzgwXzMzNTU4MTQ2XzExMEY2QUU0] [quote:Strawberrymittens:MV8xOTk3NzgwXzMzNTU4MDc0X0Q1RUUzMjND] I am not sure what it all means but here is a link to a gamma ray site, it appears there are blue hits everywhere. The green one JUST showed up the past few minutes. I found it on a different thread. If you click on today's date it gives a little info. http://grb.sonoma.edu/ Here's a bit about gamma rays that I could find. http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/bursts.html Can someone explain what it means? Does it mean we're going to have an enormous solar flare then?? [/quote] game rays and cosmic rays are different. http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/gamma.html [i]Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells. Gamma-rays travel to us across vast distances of the universe, only to be absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. Different wavelengths of light penetrate the Earth's atmosphere to different depths. Instruments aboard high-altitude balloons and satellites like the Compton Observatory provide our only view of the gamma-ray sky.[/i] http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/understand/gamma.html [/quote] [/quote]
