Gamma ray burst 2 billion light-years away impacted Earth's atmosphere as strongly as a solar flare
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Last year, on October 9, we on Earth witnessed the most luminous celestial event ever recorded, by far. It was a gamma ray burst (GRB) at least 10x as bright as any other example ever seen, and it lasted 70x longer than any other known GRB. This was

Strong solar flare: An M9.6-class solar flare, 21 April 2022. A CME did emerge from the blast site, but it was faint and apparently off-target. It looks like it will miss Earth. This region is now in a good position for Earth directed eruptions. : r/space
