Scientists suggest that GRB221009A is the brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen.

Observatories around the world have just detected a massive burst of highly energetic radiation. This was reported by Science Alert.

The event, first detected on October 9, was so bright that it was initially mistaken for an event closer to Earth. Only as a result of further analysis, astronomers discovered the true nature of the glow – it is a gamma-ray burst, one of the most powerful bursts in the universe, which has now received a new name GRB221009A.

It was noted that the source of the outbreak is at a distance of 2.4 billion light-years from us. Furthermore, this extremely bright gamma-ray burst appears to be the most energetic ever detected, reaching an energy of 18 teraelectronvolts.

Despite the power, this flare is absolutely no danger to life on Earth, scientists say.

It was previously reported that the astrophotographer captured a unique image of a massive plume of plasma ejected from the Sun.
