A Movie of GRB Locations in the Sky
The BATSE experiment on NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory detected about 1 gamma-ray burst a day for nearly 9 years! This movie shows the celestial locations (in galactic coordinates) of the first few hundred bursts that BATSE detected. Can you see a pattern, or does it look like they are randomly distributed in space?
