Gamma Ray Blast
Click on the title above to read about what has been detected in space. What amount of energy was produced? How far away did the blast occur? Compare the distances from the sun to Earth and the sun to Pluto using light years.

U.S space agency found a massive explosion 12 billion light years away. the sun is 8 light minutes and pluto is light hours away
The energy produced was 3000 to to more than five billion times that of visible light. The burst occured 12.2 billion light years away. The sun is eight light minutes from the Earth and Pluto is 12 light hours away.
Love ya!

It occured about 12.2 billion miles away and was "millions and billions" of neutron volts. From Earth to the non-planet Pluto is 11 hours and 52 light minutes further away than the sun.

The Gamma Ray Blast produced energies from 3,000 to 5,000,000,000 times that of visible light. The blast happened 12,200,000,000 light years away. Just think. Earth is only eight light minutes from the sun. Even Pluto is 12 light hours. That was really far away.
1) The blast was equal to 9,000supernovae.
2)The explosion happened 12.2 billion light years away.
3)The sun is eight light minutes from Earth, and Pluto is 12 light hours away.

There was an energy blast produced that was 3000 to 5 billion times that of visible light. It occured over 12 billion light years from Earth. In comparison, the sun is eight light minutes away, and Pluto is 12 light hours away. The explosion was huge to be seen this far away.
1. 3000 to more than 5 billion times that of visible light
2.12.2 billion light years away
3. 8 light minutes to earth from the sun and 12 light hours from pluto to the sun. thats a difference of 11 hours and 52 minutes

1.The blast was about 9000 supernova.
2. 12.2 lightyears away
3. Sun is 8 light minutes, Pluto 12 light hours.

There was an explosion 12 billion light years away. the sun is 8 light minutes away and pluto is 12 light hours away. it was as powerful as 3000 to 5 billion times that of visible light.
