PIX4626505: Gamma Ray Burst - Artist's impression of a dark gamma-ray burst: Artist's view of a gamma burst, a powerful and brief emission of gamma rays whose origin would be linked either to the collision of two neutron stars or to the death of a hypermassive star. - This artist's impression shows a dark gamma-ray burst in a star forming region. Gamma-ray bursts are among the most energetic events in the Universe, but some appear curiously faint in visible light. The biggest study of these dark gamma-ray bursts to date has found that these gigantic explosions, while puzzling, don't require exotic explanations. Their faintness is now fully explained by a combination of causes with the most important being the presence of dust between the Earth and the explosion / Bridgeman Images
