Gamma rays are the most dangerous kind of radiation.

When massive stars die they may give off gamma rays. It is the "birth cry" of a black hole.

When you are on the surface of the earth, you get very little, when you are a flying airplane you get a bit more, and when your in space you get very large amounts of them. (Deadly Amounts)
Gamma Rays can kill living cells

also....

-travel at the speed of light

-used to kill and treat certain type of cancers and tumors

-it is possible to stop gamma rays, they can be stopped by lead and concrete

-Gamma ray bursts in space creates more energy in 10 seconds than sun will in its entire 10 billion lifetime
