Sentences with phrase «seconds a blast energy»

GRB 990123, was one of the most energetic and the most closely observed gamma bursts ever — emitting in less than a few tens of seconds a blast energy that might correspond to ten thousand times the energy released by our sun over the past five billion years.

Not exact matches

In less than a few tens of seconds, the blast emitted energy that might correspond to 10,000 times the energy released by our sun over the past five billion years.

Two seconds after the gravitational signal, which only the automated «trigger» of the Hanford detector initially noticed, NASA's orbiting Fermi Gamma - ray Space Telescope picked up a blast of high - energy photons called a gamma ray burst.

These include reaction chambers that can withstand repeated blasts for years on end, lasers that can fire high - energy pulses many times per second, and techniques to manufacture the tiny target capsules — a commercial plant may use more than a million per day.

Amazingly, the dead - enders conveniently forget to mention the science facts, such as the Sun blasts Earth with energy that is equivalent to 1,950 Hiroshima bombs... per second.

At that instant - theory says but experiments have yet to achieve - the hydrogen isotope atoms inside the target would fuse to become helium and release more energy in a trillionth of a second than it took to produce the blast in the first place.
