Inside the most powerful explosions: Discoveries pave the way for next-generation neutrino telescopes
In the most common type of gamma-ray burst, illustrated here, a dying massive star forms a black hole (left), which drives a particle jet into space. Light across the spectrum arises from hot gas near the progenitor star, from collisions within the jet, and through the jet's interaction with its surroundings.
