GRB 090423: The Farthest Explosion Yet Measured
Credit: Gemini Observatory / NSF / AURA, D. Fox & A. Cucchiara (Penn State U.), and E. Berger (Harvard Univ.)
Explanation: An explosion so powerful it was seen clear across the visible universe was recorded in gamma-radiation by NASA’s orbiting Swift Observatory. Farther than any known galaxy, quasar, or optical supernova, the gamma-ray burst recorded was clocked at redshift 8.2, making it the farthest explosion of any type yet detected.

Game is beyond awesome. Definitely need to finish some homework today before I get into it again though.

Just got the boxset. Upon going through Tumblr realized that they are playing the whole damn collection in its entirety in Boston tonight. Super jealous of anyone attending that show.
