Re: The Black Hole Hunter
Good stuff.
It now looks as if GRBs are very focused and directional in their bursts. This is good news. Were they not, the stats imply astronomically frequent chordate killing events from omnidirectional bursts. As a chordate, I view this with concern. The GRB's directionality seriously decreases the probability that we on Earth get hosed (literally) by one "nearby" (hundreds of millions of LYs).
