Astronomers call it the monster. It was the biggest and brightest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. Had it been closer, Earth would have been toast. |

Gamma Ray Race provides more support for Einstein's theories. An interesting read even with the typo's. |

Einstein@home volunteers have discovered 4 gamma-ray pulsars in Fermi data and have been credited and given a certificate. I am crunching Fermi data also in Albert@home but so far I have not found one. This is another proof of the validity of the Einstein@home algorithm designed to find gravitational waves. Tullio |

A newly discovered exploding star may have broken two cosmic records, as it’s both the brightest and the most distant supernova ever seen, according to a new study. http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2013/12/20/newfound-monster-supernova-breaks-records/ |
