The animation here shows how the sky looks at gamma-ray energies above 100 million electron volts (MeV) with a view centered on the north galactic pole. The first frame shows the sky during a three-hour interval prior to GRB 130427A. The second frame shows a three-hour interval starting 2.5 hours before the burst, and ending 30 minutes into the event. In other words, the animation demonstrates how bright the burst was relative to the rest of the gamma-ray sky. Julie McEnery, project scientist for the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which observed the event, said:
The burst subsequently was detected in optical, infrared and radio wavelengths by ground-based observatories. Astronomers quickly learned that the GRB was located about 3.6 billion light-years away, a distant that, for these sorts of events, is relatively close. NASA said:We have waited a long time for a gamma-ray burst this shockingly, eye-wateringly bright. The GRB lasted so long that a record number of telescopes on the ground were able to catch it while space-based observations were still ongoing.
Bottom line: NASA announced on May 3, 2013 that a gamma ray burst (GRB) with the highest-energy light ever detected from an object of its kind was detected on April 27. They designated the burst GRB 130427A. They are now waiting to see if, as typically happens, a supernova appears in its location.Astronomers think most [gamma rays bursts] occur when massive stars run out of nuclear fuel and collapse under their own weight. As the core collapses into a black hole, jets of material shoot outward at nearly the speed of light.
The jets bore all the way through the collapsing star and continue into space, where they interact with gas previously shed by the star and generate bright afterglows that fade with time.
If the GRB is near enough, astronomers usually discover a supernova at the site a week or so after the outburst.
This GRB is in the closest 5 percent of bursts, so the big push now is to find an emerging supernova, which accompanies nearly all long GRBs at this distance.

Youtuber Suspicious0bservers https://www.youtube.com/user/Suspicious0bservers/feed?filter=2 has a great daily update on earth and solar activity, in addition to information related to Electric Universe theory.
Keeping an eye on earth/solar system changes via his page's daily reports has been one of my essential daily practices for some time now...
The first topic relayed in today's 3MIN news report is the information contained in this article, the significance of which is that since Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 130427A is the "...highest energy light we have ever detected from such an event on planet earth," if we hearken back to what the Cs have given us re: a longlasting GRB that was picked up on 3/28/11, [Link] namely that "energy is pouring into your universe from higher densities," we can perhaps take this as a significant mile marker indicating the Wave's (see LKJ's Wave series http://cassiopaea.org/category/volumes/the-wave/) approach and increased influence both micro- and macro-cosmically...

"A: What do you think about the ”new” explosion 3 to 4 billion light years away? They think, that is.
{Here it seems the Cs are referring to recent news of an explosion that is going on in the center of a small galaxy said to be 3.8 billion light-years away. See:
[Link][Link]“Astronomers say they have never seen anything this bright, long-lasting and variable before. Usually gamma-ray bursts mark the end of a massive star and emission from these events never lasts more than a few hours. But radiation from the blast continues to brighten and fade from the location a week after the explosion.”
And: “Rather than the short-lived gamma-ray bursts typically associated with the death of a massive star -- most last no more than a few hours -- this explosion continues more than a week later to emanate pulses of high-energy cosmic radiation for an effect that's brighter, longer lasting, and more variable than scientists have ever seen.”}
Q: (L) Are you saying that it’s not as far away as they’re saying it is?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) What is it representing? What is it doing?
A: The wave has begun in earnest!
Q: (L) What do you mean?
A: Energy is pouring into your universe from higher densities."
Also, another fact of similar interest and importance, is that more and more frequent GRBs are occurring, one of which was detected today in the Sagittarius constellation and one of which occurred last Saturday in Leo...
