NASA Detects Strange Gamma-Ray Burst That Defies 50 Years of Expectations
Astronomers have spotted GRB 250702B, a gamma-ray burst that erupted several times over two days—something never seen before. Detected by NASA’s Fermi and China’s Einstein Probe, the event defies current models of collapsing stars or black holes, hinting at an entirely new cosmic phenomenon.

Einstein Probe Detects Mysterious X-ray Flare with Record-Long Emission
An international team of astronomers has detected a peculiar fast-evolving X-ray transient, EP241021a, using China’s Einstein Probe. Unveiled in a May 12 arXiv paper, this transient stood out due to its long-lasting emissions lasting over 79 days—unprecedented among FEXTs. EP241021a also produced optical and radio emissions, suggesting a multi-...
