Brightest GRB was aimed at Earth

it can

it moves as fast as light, can you see faster than light? even with a telescope that would be pretty impressive

ok....so when the hubble looks deep into space...is it not looking into the past further than what your eye can see??? Even a bit?

no its not looking further than your eye can see, your eyes can look just as far as hubble only hubble see's the details our tiny eyes cant see, the reason we see in the past is because the light took so long to get here, you know that. but we also can't see that light before it gets here. thats why you cant see a grb before it gets here. you can't see anything that moves the speed of light before it gets here, its not really hard you know.

Pk...thanks man...I get it now...great info!

no prob, just remember, we can only see something when the light reaches us, when something dangerous as a grb is nearing us, we won't know until its too late. the stars we see with hubble have been there for ages and their light has been reaching us for many years, but when something like an grb occurs, we can't see it untill it's light reaches us, and since nothing moves faster than light, the whole wave (with its light) comes at the same time, we wont be able to spot it untill too late

only moments before it hit us gamma radiation is almost as fast as light

Actually all electromagnetic waves (light, gamma, infrared, radio ect...) travel at the same speed (light speed). The only way light would reach us first is if it left before the grb did. If there are any grb's heading this way, noone is going to know about it (unless there is some detectable precursor - which there may well be), until its tearing us a new one.

how dumb can u be to NOT know what a telescope is i new what they where since i was like 8 its a scope with multiple lenses and or mirrors that can focus and magnify objects that are to far to see with your naked eye

a GBR's energy is focused on a narrow point right, so its a beam. how wide is the beam?
