Colliding Binary Neutron Stars

Gamma-ray bursts are common, yet random, and fleeting events that have mystified astronomers since their discovery in the late 1960s. Many scientists say longer bursts (more than four seconds in duration) are caused by massive star explosions; shorter bursts (less than two seconds in duration) are caused by mergers of binary systems with black holes or neutron stars. This animation portrays one possible scenario that could produce the shorter bursts. While uncertainty remains, most scientists say in either scenario a new black hole is born.

Sound can only travel through matter as it is a compression wave. So there would be no sound. There would be very violent gravitational waves though. It would be like going through a dough roller a thousand times a second. You would end up a mush.

What is a gamma ray burst someone?

[93tillinfinitySON]

i dont understand does this make a noise when it obliderates cause everyone is saying space has no sound but radio waves

[URIZHEY]

What happens after this?

Black hole or another Pulsar with 2 times more mass than before?????

[apuz5]

That would be tight to see
