A new type of gamma-ray sensor developed by NASA, called AstroPix, will take part in a robotic arm demonstration on the ...
A stellar explosion that briefly outshone its entire host galaxy may have left behind a calling card no superluminous ...
An international team of astronomers have employed one of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) at the Cherenkov Telescope Array ...
NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray spacecraft has observed a super-bright, supercharged supernova explosion powered up by the creation of a highly magnetic dead star, or magnetar.
NASA's plans to return astronauts to the moon through the Artemis program and ultimately send humans to Mars highlight just ...
For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Researchers at the University of Osaka ...
A multi-sensor detection of an intense gamma-ray flash, which occurs when two lightning leaders collided, has been observed. Observations across a wide radiation spectrum enabled precise measurement ...
The collision of two lightning-bolts-in-the-making spawned an exceedingly brief but extremely energetic flash of gamma rays. This first-of-its-kind observation may help explain an origin of some of ...
