Title: Re: What is the evidence that gamma-ray bursts originate from beyond the Milky Way G Post by: lewis on Apr 27, 2012 The distribution of gamma-ray bursts is distributed uniformly on the sky, unlike the distribution of X-ray binaries, neutron stars, and other objects within the Galaxy. Further, the afterglow of some gamma-ray bursts have now been detected and detailed observations at other wavelengths show that they are located at the position (and redshift) of distant galaxies.
