A Star Explosion So Intense, It Compressed Earth's Atmosphere from 2 Billion Light-Years Away

[@NothingverseOfficial]

The gamma-ray burst (GRB) on October 9, 2022, called GRB 2219A, was the brightest ever observed, with its energy levels 10 times higher than any previously recorded GRBs. It lasted for 10 minutes, with an afterglow visible for over 10 hours, making it an unprecedented event in terms of both intensity and duration.

Not 2.4 billion miles away, but 2.4 BILLION LIGHT YEARS away. What's that...like several hundred galaxies away? Across the universe?? It's a LOT.

[@NothingverseOfficial]

Yes, 2.4 billion light-years is an incredibly vast distance, far beyond what we can easily imagine. To put it in perspective, 1 light-year is about 9.46 trillion kilometers, so 2.4 billion light-years is truly an astronomical number. It stretches across not just hundreds of galaxies, but likely a significant portion of the observable universe. The fact that this event happened so far away and still had an impact on Earth is truly mind blowing

[@chaszaszman_9868]

The Milky Way has a diameter of about 100 thousand light years. 2.4 billion light years is not a few hundred, but about 24,000 galaxies the size of the Milky Way. That's insane.

[@christianbaughn199]

​@chaszaszman_9868 There are 2.5 million light years between The Milky Way and Andromeda. Using this figure, because even though the diameter of a galaxy is vast, the distance between galaxies is far greater, you would come across 960 galaxies if you travelled 2.4 billion light years in any one direction.

[@jamesbeatty5257]

So basically incomprehensible

[@joeleon5786]

Normal people really can’t comprehend that distance

Beautiful presentation. You and your team make great content. Thank you!

It's literally low-effort, AI-generated and narrated content. That's how low your standards are.

Too much repetition

[@anieshroy]

The universe is a mere appearance, and reality is hidden.

[@notfromhere6125]

A little vague but I get your meaning. And I agree.

[@rjpajaron]

Must be the "Dark Star" of Emperor Palpatine. The video should be name: "A Star Explosion, 2 billion LY away, is so intense, it compressed Earth's Atmosphere".

[@kjvail]

Sounds like it might have been something we haven’t seen before. If you took out all the repetition of info in this video, it would be under 20 minutes A GRB within 100 ly of Earth would set the world on fire.

Seriously. These videos LOVE stating the exact same thing over and over and over

[@lostandlost519]

Real person or AI voice? Being Texan I appreciate the accent.

[@michaelsebring9284]

I think it's a Computer-generated voice. A human wouldn't have so many obvious mispronunciations. Example: the word, 'habitable' seems to always be pronounced wrong by accenting the 2nd sylable instead of the 1st. Overall though, it's a very pleasant voice to listen to.

[@Unknown-s2z]

Good Night guys

[@MsArgentana]

While listening attentively to this astonishing video I ask myself how stupid we are spending so much energies to explore the universe space while letting die or planet and ourselves ciontemporarily....

[@robinliengehlin1481]

you know nearly all science and technology we depend on comes from this thing you seem to think is such a waste of money. you would barely be out of the caves without this shit xD

[@manuell3505]

BOAT means "The brightest gamma-ray burst of all time". Have you been smoking again?

[@macethorns1168]

"occurs only once every 10 thousand years" Now how in the hellcould you possibly know that?

[@PhilmiiNutsakz]

I been counting the years, and it's been happening without fail for the past 40 thousand years of observing it n so it's safe to say that it occurs every 10 thousand years.

[@Natraj_Chaturvedi]

You can look for patterns. For example studying layers of the Earth's crust tells you lots of things like how CO2 levels went up and down cyclically or when the earths magnetic poles switched. They can come look for other things to know about other past events.

[@davemccombs]

Jesus did you really just fucking ask this?

[@BaldHeadedManc]

​@@davemccombsIt's the Internet dave.. people aren't very bright and if they don't understand something they jump to "That's wrong," rather than actually looking into it. Brain rot.

[@ZeeshanAjmal]

​​@@PhilmiiNutsakzso this was deduced based on collected data only Or A combination of data collection and probability?

You ain't seen nothin' yet, wait until we witness a super Black Hole explosion. Astrophysics doesn't even have a word for it.

[@jessebacon817]

So how can that be in our galaxy if it was 2.4 billion light years away? Our galaxy stretches 100K light years across. This would have to be from another far far away galaxy. And from that distance shouldn’t that already happened in the past?

[@Unknown-s2z]

Space is Past

[@bradr3541]

I think after a bit of research some sources wrongly claim that it came from Sagitta Constellation when that’s just the direction it is. It absolutely can’t be in Sagitta constellation and be 2.4 billion light years away. It did occur 1.9 billion years ago, with the difference between that and the distance (2.4 billion light years) being the expansion of the universe.

[@aminemandkamalilo]
