NASA has detected the longest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, an extreme cosmic explosion that lasted nearly seven hours — far longer than typical gamma-ray bursts, which usually fade within seconds or minutes. This unprecedented event is believed to have occurred when a black hole plunged into a massive star, tearing through it from the inside while feeding on stellar material. As the star collapsed, the black hole formed a hot spinning accretion disk and launched powerful relativistic jets, rel

🚨The Longest Cosmic Explosion EVER Caught! A black hole just broke the record for the longest cosmic blast we’ve ever seen. 🤯✨ On July 2, 2025, GRB 250702B lit up the universe — a gamma-ray burst that didn’t quit for DAYS. The leading idea? A tiny black hole dove into a stripped “helium star,” ate it from the inside, and fired jets of energy nearly at light speed. Watch NASA’s animation of a star being torn apart from within. 🌌 GRBs happen almost daily — but nothing like this one. 🎥 Credit:
