A historic first was possible thanks to the international ALMA observatory, with its help being recorded for the first time the explosion generated by the combination of two stars in the universe. We are talking about a video clip recorded in millimeter-wavelength light thanks to ALMA, scientists being completely amazed by what they managed to observe for the first time, but more importantly, to surprise for all of humanity now.
The explosion was generated by the combination of a neutron star and an ordinary one, and below you can see part of what the scientists who captured everything also saw. Moreover, scientists stated that this was the most energetic burst of short-lived gamma rays ever observed in history, leaving behind the most powerful source of light generated by the explosion of two stars that have united.

The combination of stars occurred 20 billion light-years from Earth, and the explosion of gamma rays that were thrown into the universe lasted only a few seconds, and was very difficult to observe from Earth. Some observatories on Earth detected the explosion without being able to identify the galaxy they were part of, so it was necessary to use the ALMA observatory to detect the light source through a completely new method, but also much more accurate, in the end.
The data were combined with those obtained from other observatories, but even so, we are talking about events located at very great distances, so many details about them cannot be obtained. In the future, scientists will be able to use other state-of-the-art observatories to see in greater detail certain events that take place at greater distances from Earth, so we will learn much more about the universe we are part of. .
Scientists are still analyzing the data they collected in connection with this very impressive explosion, and probably in the future we will learn much more about how they take place, and what they leave behind.
