In October 2022, a titanic explosion struck our detectors—BOAT, the Brightest Of All Time. This wasn't just another gamma-ray burst. It traveled over 2 billion light-years and unleashed more energy in seconds than our Sun will emit in its entire lifetime. Astronomers around the world were stunned. Why was it so close? Why did it last so long? And what kind of star could unleash such fury? As we dig deeper, this cosmic event may hold clues to some of the universe’s biggest mysteries: the origin of gold, the nature of dark matter, and whether the laws of physics need rewriting. Join us as we unravel the science behind the most powerful flash of light the cosmos has ever sent our way.
