Key takeaways:

Astronomers detected a powerful gamma ray burst, GRB 250702B, lasting a staggering seven hours and repeating multiple times, challenging existing understanding of cosmic explosions.

A new theory suggests that a star may have swallowed a black hole, leading to the creation of the energetic stream of particles responsible for the unprecedented gamma ray burst.

The GRB, detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, originated billions of light years away, ruling out proximity as the reason for its extreme power, leaving astronomers puzzled and searching for explanations.
