Some orphan gamma-ray bursts actually live in tiny faint galaxies
Some orphan gamma-ray bursts actually live in tiny faint galaxies,Some of the most powerful singular explosions in the Universe seem to be happening in intergalactic space, and astronomers aren’t happy about it. Gamma-ray bursts are terrifying. They come in two general kinds: Long ones that last for more than two seconds, and short ones, called sGRBs, that last for less than two seconds. Either way, the total energy emitted is immense. For that short time they can be trillions of times more luminous than the Sun.
