Scientists spot ‘unexplained brightness’ after violent explosion in space

Scientists have seen an "unexplained brightness" in the wake of a violent explosion in space.The bright flash is the most intense infrared light from a short gamma-ray burst ever seen.“It’s amazing to me that after 10 years of studying the same type of phenomenon, we can discover unprecedented behavior like this,” said Wen-fai Fong, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Northwestern University and lead author of the study, in a statement.
