We’ve long understood the broad strokes of lightning, but the what kickstarts the process—and allows for some of its weirdest ...

Lightning, which can heat the atmosphere to five times the temperature of the surface of the sun, is the result of a powerful ...

On November 12, 2023, a huge burst of gamma radiation hit the European Space Agency’s orbiting INTEGRAL satellite. The rush of radiation lasted just one-tenth of a second, but immediately, an ...

Scientists have discovered that the Sun produces higher energy light than was thought possible. An unusual type of telescope detected gamma rays with energies of over 1 tera electron volt, at ...

It's true that gamma rays can be found on Earth, such as in lightning, but with ComPair, NASA wishes to detect these waves with specific energies between 200,000 and 20 million electron volts.

In the 1990s, NASA satellites built to spot high-energy particles coming from supernovae and other celestial-sized objects discovered a surprise—high energy gamma radiation bursts coming from ...

Dubbed the "brightest of all time," or the BOAT, a gamma-ray burst detected in 2022 continues to astound astronomers, revealing severe effects in Earth's atmosphere.
