Gamma Rays are one of the biggest explosions that exists throughout our universe. Gamma Ray explosions are very rare. They occur when stars produce solar flares, pulsars,or when the star reaches the end of its life cycle. As you can see, these events do not occur often throughout our lives. Fortunately, we were able to witness one a couple of years ago. On March 19 2008, a gamma ray exploded in a far away galaxy. The light from the gamma ray, known as GRB 080319B, was caught at 2:12 a.m by a telescope in Chile. This event is now recorded as one of the biggest explosions that ever occurred. Our star, the sun, is at the beginning of it’s life cycle. In order for it to cause a gamma ray explosion, it needs to wait billions of years. Our sun is no where near the size of other stars that are out there in our marvelous universe. In 5 billion years, our sun is predicted to expand into a red giant that will burn the earth. Therefore before we even see our sun explode, it will burn us and the earth from existence.
