An artists conception of the violent blast of
gamma rays emitted by the recent GRB030329 in the
constellation Leo is shown above. Gamma ray
bursts are explosions so powerful that they can
be seen across billions of light-years of space,
emitting 10 times as much energy in a few seconds
as the sun will release in its entire
10-billion-year lifetime.
