It showed that most gamma ray bursts come from other galaxies, not our own. This means that gamma ray bursts must be extremely powerful.

What are the main causes of a gamma ray burst?
The main cause of a Gamma Ray Burt, or GRB, is when a star dies it collapses into itself. Same consept as a black hole. But when GRB's occur, the tar spins very fast, and flattens itself out like a pancake, and a shot of gamma radiation is projected outward on both sides of the star. There are two types of GRB's, short and long bursts. Fortunately these are very rare, and the chances of one of these hitting the earth is 1 in 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. If one of these do ht the earth it will immediately destroy our ozone killing everything on Earth instantly.
How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]
What is the relative charge of gamma particles?
The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender. We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it. The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.
The rest energy of a pion is 140 MeV what is the kinetic energy when it moves at 0.80c?
total energy E=gamma*m*c^2 where gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) K=E - mc^2 = (gamma-1)*(Rest Energy) You know v, and can thus compute gamma, and you know the rest energy.
What are Th1 cytokines?
TNF,gamma interferon, IL-1,IL-3

What has the author G L Simmons written?
G. L. Simmons has written: 'An adjoint gamma-ray moments computer code, ADJMOM-1' -- subject(s): Gamma ray angular correlations
How tall is Forrest Compton?
Forrest Compton is 6' 1".
How do you write gamma ray as an elementary particle?
A proton can be written as p, p+, or by its quantum numbers: 1/2(1/2)+, corresponding to spin(isospin)parity.
What is the 7 parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum?

What actors and actresses appeared in Compton Kamakazi 1-2 - 2008?
The cast of Compton Kamakazi 1-2 - 2008 includes: Znala Ariel Williams as Young Girl Hidetoshi Imura as Compton Kamakazi
What is the answer to this math problem 180 10 log x 130?
180 10 log(x) 130 = -(117000 i integral_(-iinfinity+gamma)^(iinfinity+gamma)(Gamma(-s)^2 Gamma(1+s))/((-1+x)^s Gamma(1-s)) ds)/pi for (-1<gamma<0 and |arg(-1+x)|<pi)

Does the nucleus mass or atomic number change during gamma ray decay?
The emission of a gamma ray changes neither the mass number nor the atomic number of a nucleus. An example of an equation for gamma emission is: 99mTc --> 99Tc + gamma The "m" associated with the mass number indicates a metastable nuclear isomer.
