New Gamma Burst that Impacted Earth Discovered



A new discovery of an enormous explosion in space, sending out high levels of radiation is believed to have impacted earth during the rule of Emperor Charlemagne, between 774 and 775 AD.  Scientists have discovered this impact by studying the rings in cedar trees, which point that this phenomena occurred during medieval times.  This explosion is not believed to have been caused by our own sun, but more likely a collision between two stars or two black holes that were inside our own Milky Way galaxy.  These newly discovered tree rings have given scientists their best ‘guess’ at what might have occurred during that era.
