⭐SVOM Mission: Sky Watchers
The Franco-Chinese space mission SVOM is dedicated to locating and studying the most distant stellar explosions, gamma-ray bursts. These cataclysms, signaled by a brief flash of gamma rays, the most energetic form of light, accompany the disintegration of the largest stars. Visible to the far reaches of the Universe, these explosions offer the only way to observe the fate of the very first stars in the Universe and to probe the outer reaches of the cosmos.
Seeing a star explode is a rare event. And yet, the first traces of observations are ancient, beginning in China, more than a millennium ago. Discover the story of these first observations. A fascinating journey into the beginnings of the Universe.
