Swift Space Telescope

This image provides three different perspectives on the gamma ray burst GRB150101B, which is similar to the event where gravitational waves were measured and simultaneously also in the electromagnetic spectrum and there is a similarity between the two cases. In the center, an image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the galaxy where the GRB150101B burst occurred. In the top corner, two X-ray images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory show the event as it appeared on January 9, 2015 (left), and as seen about a month later, on February 10, 2015 (right), as the explosion halo fades, point The bright light is the nucleus of the galaxy.Photo: NASA/CXC

In this image, of the gamma-ray burst called GRB 130925A, a sheath of hot X-ray-emitting gas (in red) surrounds a jet of particles (in white) erupting from the star's surface at near the speed of light. This source may be a metal-poor blue giant, a good approximation of the first stars formed in the universe. Image: NASA/Swift/A. Simonnet, Sonoma State Univ.
