What If a Gamma-Ray Burst Hits Earth?
53% Informative
Gamma ray bursts, or GRBS , are the most violent explosions in the universe.
They occur when 2 neutron stars collide and form a black hole or when a star goes supernova.
Gamma rays have such a short wavelength that with a bit of luck, the beam could pass relatively close and do no significant damage.
If a gamma ray burst blasted from only 500 light years away, it would change the game completely.
The radiation that would rain down on Earth would destroy our ozone layer.
