The gamma ray burst released photons carrying a record amount of energy.

伽马射线爆发释放了携带创纪录能量的光子。

" And this event is the brightest gamma ray burst, " O'Conner said.

“这是最亮的伽马射线暴，”奥康纳说。

At the same time the gamma ray bursts are ejected the collapsing star explodes or goes supernova to the extreme.

在伽玛射线爆发的同时，崩塌的恒星发生爆发或走向极端变成超新星。

But some also believe that a gamma ray burst was responsible for the Ordovician extinction around 455 million years ago.

但是也有一些科学家认为伽玛射线爆发可能是四十五亿年前奥陶纪大灭绝的罪魁祸首。

The astronomers suspect the gamma ray burst they saw was the result of two neutron stars crashing into each other.

天文学家怀疑他们看到的伽玛射线暴是两颗中子星相互碰撞的结果。

Scientists believe that gamma ray bursts only last that long during supernovas.

科学家们认为，伽马射线爆发只会在超新星期间持续那么长时间。

He said gamma ray bursts that last hundreds of seconds, as this one did, are thought to be caused when massive stars explode.

他说，持续数百秒的伽马射线暴，就像这一次一样，被认为是大质量恒星爆炸时产生的。

Explanations include a gamma ray burst pointing away from the Earth, or a black hole destroying a white dwarf star.

解释包括远离地球的伽马射线爆发，或黑洞摧毁白矮星。

The report in the journal Science says the blast, known as a Gama ray burst, was spotted earlier this year by telescopes in space.

《科学》期刊上的报道称，今年年初，太空望远镜观察到伽马射线暴。

" Gamma ray bursts in general release the same amount of energy that our sun produces over its entire lifetime" in just a few seconds, he noted.

他指出，“伽马射线暴在短短几秒钟内释放出的能量与太阳一生中产生的能量一样多。”

Which brings us back to the explosion we saw in 2006. Detected by NASA's Swift satellite on June 14, it was a huge gamma ray burst: the highest-energy type of explosion possible, a million trillion times more energetic than the Sun.

这让我们回到了 2006 年看到的爆炸。 6 月 14 日， 美国宇航局的雨燕卫星探测到，这是一次巨大的伽马射线爆发：可能是能量最高的爆炸类型，能量是太阳的一百万万亿倍。
