In 1967, US satellites searching for nuclear tests detected mysterious flashes from space. Decades later, scientists uncovered secrets of gamma-ray bursts, which can release more energy in 10 seconds than Sun will emit over its entire 10-billion-year lifetimeGamma-ray bursts, first detected accidentally in 1967, have long puzzled astronomers. Recent observations of their afterglows are now chall...
