Studying GRBs

"Originally designed as a satellite dedicated to studying GRBs — gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the cosmos — Swift also monitors active galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, studies stars undergoing X-ray flares, nova outbursts, and supernova explosions, observes comets and asteroids in our own solar system, and conducts long-term observations of a variety of objects."https://science.nasa.gov/mission/swift/science/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4c92f5d78644b3ac5d5b4
