India’s MACE (Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment) telescope has detected powerful gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from the early universe
Some of these cosmic explosions occurred billions of years before Earth even formed—a glimpse into the universe’s fiery past
Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest explosions in the universe, released when massive stars collapse or merge into black holes
These ancient signals help scientists understand how the universe evolved and what happened in the first few billion years after the Big Bang.
With MACE’s findings, India strengthens its role in global astrophysics, paving the way for more deep-space discoveries.
