Scientists capture massive cosmic explosion from neutron star merger - study

Gamma-ray bursts are some of the brightest, most energetic and most powerful types of explosions that can occur, releasing as much power as a Sun's lifetime in a few seconds.

This artist's conception shows the merger between a neutron star and another star (seen as a disk, lower left) which caused an explosion resulting in the short-duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 211106A (white jet, middle).
