Honey? some crazy shit's going down at the neighbors'

things are exploding in a galaxy right next to ours. i don't really know what it has to do with us, but it's pretty interesting.

The event, detected Feb. 18, looks something like a gamma-ray burst (GRB), scientists said. But it is much closer—about 440 million light-years away—than others. And it lasted about 33 minutes. Most GRBs are billions of light-years away and last less than a second or just a few seconds.
