Scientific paper
Gamma-ray bursts are the most dramatic and powerful cosmic explosions known. They also continue to be the most puzzling. Thanks to breakthrough observations over the last decade, however, a picture has emerged of gamma-ray bursts being at cosmological distances and capable of releasing more than 1051 ergs of energy within seconds. Despite the emergence of this picture, the physical origin of bursts is still unknown and the classification of different types of bursts is still in its infancy. Further understanding of gamma-ray bursts requires the wise use of our current resources and the development of new observational capabilities. We outline the current state of our knowledge of bursts and describe the present and future instrumentation which will enable us to understand these baffling blasts. .
