It was the biggest and brightest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. Had it been closer, Earth would have been toast. ID: 1445622 ·

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.
