Astronomers unravel cosmic explosion mystery

Quote:
Astronomers have taken a big leap towards solving a long-standing mystery – the source of the titanic cosmic explosions called short gamma-ray bursts.

The breakthrough came when, for the first time, astronomers were able to accurately pinpoint the locations of two recent short GRBs. They traced the bursts to relatively distant galaxies, bolstering the prevailing theory that the GRBs arise from collisions involving dense stellar corpses, called neutron stars.
