• •NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope has examined what may have been the most powerful explosion since the Big Bang, discovering a hitherto unseen feature.
• •The feature could be the result of matter and antimatter particles annihilating at 99.9% the speed of light.
• •Scientists theorize the BOAT was launched by a supernova explosion that accompanied the death and collapse of a massive star located around 2.4 million light-years away from us.

Scientists have discovered a new feature in the light from the brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen. The feature could be the result of matter and antimatter particles annihilating at 99.9% the speed of light.
