An Italian team of astronomers1 has used the VLT to observe the afterglow of a Gamma-ray burst that is the farthest known to date with a measured redshift of 6.3. “This also means that it is among the intrinsically brightest Gamma-ray bursts ever observed”, said Guido Chincarini from INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera and University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) and leader of a team that studied the object with ESO's Very Large Telescope. “Its luminosity is such that within a few minutes it must have released 300 times more energy than the Sun will release during its entire life of 10 000 million years.”
