  1. Thanks for the video Anton.

    One thing that I have noticed is that astrophysicists seem to always say that shouldn't happen, but very little about what could happen. Kind of myopic I'd think. It's like predefining your expectations before even having a look at what is actually happen considering the potentially gazillions of stars, perturbations and combinations possible ad extremus to produce anything and everything in one way or another.

    We then get fantastical news headlines and YouTubes about things that "shouldn't happen", more like we didn't think of that.

  2. "Something was not adding up…….." Let's blame those compressed, narrow, ultra powerful jets! And the energy behind those jets?? Let's blame extraordinary speed the star enwrapped. But, dang nab it! This magnetic energy fed directly into the jets, and not the star, which insisted on being perfectly normal.

  3. So we got sniped by a GRB from billions of years ago. The odds of that happening are insanely small. Perhaps we should be a bit more concerned about threats from space and try to spread out as quickly as possible instead of killing each other.

  4. We should be using observatories in Microwave/IR, all bands to capture THE SURROUNDINGS…
    The whole area, the planets, moons, they're all going to be undergoing something rare to see…
