Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been observed to occur within galaxies, but they are not typically located at the centers of these galaxies. Instead, they seem to happen in regions where star formation is active, which can be various places within a galaxy, not necessarily its center. This observation has helped astronomers understand that GRBs are associated with massive stellar explosions or the merging of neutron stars, events that do not exclusively occur at galactic centers.
