Record Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Burst Set Off Telescope Twice – And The Reason Is Cataclysmicn this artist's concept, pale concentric arcs illustrate gravitational waves produced as orbiting neutron stars merged. The event also formed near-light-speed particle jets that emitted gamma rays. In 2017, both signals were detected from the same source for the first time.
