The Most Powerful Known Bursts

Description
The Most Powerful Known Bursts
Gamma-ray bursts have been observed everywhere in the sky, indicating that, unlike X-ray bursters, most do not originate in the disk of the Milky Way
Galaxy. This map of the entire sky “unfolded” onto the page shows 2704 bursts detected by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) aboard
the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. The colors indicate the brightness of the bursts; they are coded brightest in red, dimmest in violet. Gray dots
indicate incomplete information about the burst strength
