The Swift satellite was built to record gamma-ray bursts, the most energetic explosions in the universe. The gamma-ray burst, called GRB 060218, lasted almost 2,000 seconds, which is about 100 times as long as a typical burst. Right after the gamma-ray burst was detected, dozens of scientific institutions in many parts of the world raced to look for any traces it might have left. |
