Hi! I thought you'd be interested in this story from Science@NASA: A gamma-ray burst detected by NASA's Swift satellite has smashed the previous distance record for the most powerful explosions in the Universe. Researchers are calling it "an incredible find" and a "true blast from the past." http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/28apr_grbsmash.htm?friend (or <a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/28apr_grbsmash.htm?friend"> New Gamma-Ray Burst Smashes Cosmic Distance Record </a>.)
