In today's issue of Nature it was announced that on January 15 2019 at
3:57:03 am EST the most powerful Gamma Ray Burst ever seen was detected,
one photon of those Gamma Rays had as much energy as a trillion photons of
visible light, that's about 10 times higher than the previous record. The
burst is called GRB 190114C and it's 4.5 billion light years from the Earth.
