What Does GRB Stand For?

GRB stands for Gamma Ray Burst

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are extremely energetic explosions observed in distant galaxies, characterized by the release of intense gamma radiation. They are among the most powerful events in the universe, often associated with the collapse of massive stars or the merging of neutron stars. GRBs can last from milliseconds to several minutes and are typically followed by an afterglow in various wavelengths, providing valuable insights into cosmic phenomena, the formation of black holes, and the evolution of the universe.
