 Typical Gamma-Ray Burst (illustration) | |
| Event type | Gamma-ray burst  |
|---|---|
| Right ascension | 20h 34m 23.25s[1] |
| Declination | +06° 55 ′ 10.5″[1] |
| Other designations | GRB 160625B |
GRB 160625B is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope on 25 June 2016 and, three minutes later, by the Large Area Telescope.[1][2][3] It is the first GRB recognized as it happened.[1][4] A significant linear polarization of a prompt optical flash was observed to be associated with GRB 160625B.[5] The source of the GRB was a possible black hole, within the Delphinus constellation,[6] about 9 billion light-years (light travel distance) from Earth.[4]
