First Gamma Ray Burst Seen With TESS

I've always been fascinated by GRBs! Such incredibly energetic events, sometimes at the extremes of our ability to detect are just so interesting. I can't wait for us to learn more about what causes them, the mechanism and physics involved, etc. Awesome video!

It blow a my mind to think this event happened before this planet and probably the solar system even existed and just now we get to see the light coming from this event. 😱
