Hey again,

I found this article which talks about Gamma Ray bursts and some new discoveries made about them. There is a satellite designed to study these bursts and it is named Swift. Since its launch in 2004, Swift has discovered over 292 gamma-ray bursts. Swift was designed to solve the mystery of the origin of gamma ray bursts by pinpointing the burst and measuring the emissions from the huge fireball that occurs in the first few seconds of the burst's lifetime. I thought this article was quite interesting and you should all read it!
