What is Gamma-Ray Breast?
Gamma Rays are the most energetic form of light. Their energy is trillions of times more than that of ordinary visible light. These cannot be seen or found easily. Gamma-rays are released during the explosion of stars and black holes etc.
The gamma-ray spectrum line discovered by Chinese scientists was detected by the Polar Space Telescope and NASA’s Fermi satellite. By analyzing the data received from them, scientists discovered the gamma-ray spectrum line. According to the report, this success will help scientists in uncovering the secrets of gamma-ray bursts and the powerful jets associated with them.
It is noteworthy that two years ago, Indian scientists had also detected a similar explosion. Scientists from Nainital-based Aryabhatta Research Institute of Environmental Sciences (ARIES), along with scientists from Rome, discovered a major cosmic explosion that occurred at a distance of 1 billion light years. The Gamma Ray Burst or GRB they detected occurred 1 billion light years away from Earth.
The explosion was discovered by Aries’ DOT telescope and the study was published in Nature.com.
