Abstract: The afterglows of powerful γ-ray bursts — short, intense bursts of γ-radiation from far across the Universe — have been puzzling astronomers for decades. The first sighting of a γ-ray burst while it was still emitting γ-rays provides much needed data on early γ-ray and optical emissions, and suggests that the radiation may be beamed (rather than emitted in all directions).
