NASA’s Swift satellite first observed a star explosion in April 2009. It turns out that this gamma-ray burst came from a star that exploded about 13 billion years ago, the furthest that astronomers have looked back at the early beginnings of our universe.

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.

It’s amazing but if you happened to have been looking up in the night sky in the direction of the constellation Boötes at 2:12 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (0612 UTC) on Wednesday, March 19, 2008, you could have seen with your naked eyes the brightest explosion of a star that ever occurred.
