Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short periods of γ-rays (high energy light waves) that are detected on Earth. They were originally detected by satellites that were designed to watch for nuclear weapons tests on Earth. GRBs are difficult to study because they last a wide range of times — from less to a second to a few hours — and they are most often seen in locations in the sky where previously there was no known objects. Currently it is believed that there are two main classes of GRBs: those that are caused by supernovas (the explosion of stars) and those that are caused by the merger of neutron stars.
