In astronomy, gamma rays are highly energetic explosions which have recently been seen from distant celestial bodies. They are by far the most powerful and brightest electromagnetic events known to take place in the universe. Gamma ray optics – the bursts can last from a few hours to a few minutes. There is no way to […]
