NASA reported on February 19, 2009 that its Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope saw the first gamma-ray burst ever seen in high resolution. But, the big news is that the GRB is the largest ever recorded, having the "greatest total energy, the fastest motions and the highest energy initial emissions ever seen."

The international astronomy community "hit the jackpot" on March 19, 2008, as its astronomers observed GRB 080319B, a gamma-ray burst whose explosive jet shot material in the direction of Earth at an estimated speed of 99.99995% the speed of light. The event was the furthest in distance ever seen by a naked eye on Earth.

American-German-Dutch astronomers combined radio telescopes in California, Arizona, and Hawaii to make a very long baseline interferometer (VLBI)--a "virtual" telescope. It was able to measure the structure within Sagittarius A*, what is believed to be the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
