Gamma ray bursts were discovered in the 1960s by satellites designed to detect explosions from nuclear bombs on Earth
They are hundreds of times brighter than supernovae and about a million trillion times brighter than the Sun
Some gamma ray bursts have travelled over 13 billion light years, meaning they originated from some of the most distant objects ever detected
