Chasing
down high-energy gamma rays isn't easy, but astronomers had
their big break in early 1999 when the Hubble Space Telescope,
joined by ground telescopes from around the globe, tracked the
visible glow of the most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded.
For a brief moment, the light from the blast was equal to the
radiance of 100 million billion stars.
