AI Thread Summary
A recent discussion highlights the excitement surrounding a potential new planet beyond Neptune, referenced in an article linked by a participant. Observers initially mistook bright celestial lights for Venus or Jupiter, sparking curiosity about this new discovery.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
