by Europe's veteran XMM-Newton space telescope, which detects high energy X-ray radiation emitted by objects in the universe, observed the immediate aftermath of the gamma ray burst of the century.
Astronomers said the gamma ray burst, officially named GRB 221009A, was one of the strongest ever detected and also one of the nearest.
ESA said that many of its spacecraft detected the aftermath of the event, which was so powerful that it ionized Earth's atmosphere, briefly disrupting long wave radio communication on Earth. – Tereza Pultarova
