Exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst offers new data on the formation of life-essential elements
Through a collaborative effort involving multiple ground and space-based telescopes, including the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists observed an exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst, GRB 230307A. This gamma-ray burst, caused by a neutron star merger, has been instrumental in advancing the understanding of nucleosynthesis, revealing the formation of rare chemical elements essential for life.
