What is gamma rays burst

We all know about the gamma rays. Yes they have the small wavelength and can give up a most high energy among the other known electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced from the hot and most energetic bodies such as neutron star, supernova explosion and from the pulsar star and the region around the black hole.
The earth is protected from the gamma rays by the ozone layer.
      Now after understanding the gamma rays what are the gamma rays burst. So this burst are the clear and brightest form of electromagnetic radiation caused in the distinct galaxies due to the burst of certain stats or explosions taking place. They are so powerful that they carry the whole energy as by all stars. If we are able to make the gamma rays burst energy to transform into a strong weapon then we can destroy everything. They are such strong and powerful. It is very much far light year from our solar system though it gave a bright light. From this later scientist were able to conclude that it gives as much energy in one second as the sun gives in its ten million years.
   This gamma rays burst were first observed in 1967 by Vela satellite. At that time various theoretical and hypothesis were given to clear explanation of this burst. None of them were given a fruitful outcome until 1997 it was practically detected by the X rays and optical afterglows and by the measurement of this distance and observation it was finally clarified. They are classified under two types as the short gamma rays burst and long gamma rays burst. The long gamma rays burst last up to a minutes in which the supernova explosion takes place leading the star to compress more to form black hole. Whereas the another type is a short gamma rays burst that last for a few seconds. In which the two neutrons star move around one other and finally merge producing a high energy and forms a black hole. If they are taken in our milky way then our death is completely sure though none of this energy has been detected from our milky way galaxy due to which we are very lucky.
   So this is the effect and the cause of the gamma rays burst. The more research has been going on to find more from this.
