I just find it interesting that, for as much as scientists say they look like "this or that", GRB sources don't really resemble ANYTHING that
we've recreated in a lab, or in a computer simulation.
These "Bursters" (as they're sometimes called) appear without warning, occur across
Billions of light years distance, yet knock out our
Early Warning Detection satelites on a regular basis, and then fade into the nothingness from which they came.
What are these crazy things anyway? Any thoughts? Personally, I think it's Creation as we speak. Anyone who'se taken a long hard look at some
Before/After photos of a galaxy that's hosted a recent "burster" will notice that the
whole galaxy changes appearance!
That's my take on 'em...what's yours?
Here's a link to a photo of a GRB source. There are much more spectacular simulation artworks on the web...but at least this is a picture of the real
deal. The other is a link to a GRB source FAQ page...enjoy!
