Black Hole Eats Star: NASA Missions Discover Record-Setting Blast - NASA Science

Astronomers have been poring over a flood of data from NASA satellites and other facilities as they try to work out what was responsible for

Astronomers have been poring over a flood of data from observatories, including the James Webb Space Telescope, as they try to work out what was responsible for the gamma-ray burst—the most powerful class of cosmic explosions—that extraordinarily continued for days.

Scientists say the best explanation for the outburst is that a black hole consumed a star, but they disagree on exactly how it happened.

Tuesday, January 20: Gamma Ray, "18 Years"

“18 Years” was about five and a half minutes long but felt just as epic as Gamma Ray’s longer tracks due to the combination of Ralf Scheepers’ vocals ebbing and flowing and the moodiness building to a massive crescendo.  Scheepers took the lead in writing the track with assistance from Dirk Schlächter and there was clearly something personal in his lyrics and singing, but Thomas Nack’s drums were an anvil to the skull and the production was just as coked out as the rest of Insanity and Genius so if Ralf was aiming for something along the lines of “Father and Son” (the previous Schlächter/Scheepers collaboration) the intimacy of the message got lost in the attack of the recording.  Nonetheless, the track still found Scheepers and Gamma Ray at the relative peak of their power as a unit, and there was a compelling force to the way this lineup approached the songs even if it could be smothering at points.
