Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are incredibly powerful explosions in space that release a tremendous amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. These bursts can last from a few milliseconds to several minutes and are often associated with the death of massive stars or the collision of neutron stars. When they occur, they can outshine entire galaxies for a brief moment, making them some of the brightest events in the universe. Scientists study GRBs to learn more about the universe's most extreme conditions. They can provide insights into the formation of black holes and the behavior of matter under intense gravity. Understanding these bursts helps astronomers explore the origins of the universe and the life cycles of stars.
