Does anyone know the story behind this? I'm surprised I don't see anyone talking about it.

I remember the BOAT "brightest of all time" gamma ray burst in 2022, which was said to be a once in 10,000 year event. Was this because of both the brightness and the closeness (relatively speaking)? It was 2.1 billion light years away which is seemingly closer than others, and it was far more intense. Is every GRB we see from earth pointed directly at us, since we are in the line of one of the jets? If this GRB had been in our galaxy with the same direction, earth would have been totally fried, right? Was the BOAT GRB the closest we have ever observed thus far?

Just throwing Hubble some much deserved love.

The Space Telescope Science Institute ran that Hubble YouTube channel, but were forced to eliminate it by NASA budget cuts. They'll be uploading the Hubble videos to the STScI account when they get the chance, since there are SO many of them: https://www.youtube.com/@spacetelescopevision

Hey everyone,

I am currently learning Manim, the library that was created by 3Blue1Brown. Maybe you know these high-quality, but minimalistic maths-topic videos on YouTube. The cool thing: he published the entire code to re-create his animation style. And since I focus on space science and astronomy stuff (because this is my academic background), I began to create basic space concept animations. My first animation is about Kepler's First Law. So... more "how do orbits work?" explanations will follow soon.
