March 21, 2008: A powerful gamma ray burst detected March 19th by NASA's Swift satellite has shattered the record for the most distant object that could be seen with the naked eye.It was a whopper, says Swift principal investigator Neil Gehrels of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.This blows away every gamma ray burst we've seen so far.. Swift's Burst Alert Telescope picked up the burst at 2:12 a.m. EDT on March 19, 2008, and pinpointed the coordinates in the constellation Bootes.Telescopes in space and on the ground quickly moved to observe the afterglow.wift's Burst Alert Telescope picked up the burst at 2:12 a.m. EDT on March 19, 2008, and pinpointed the coordinates in the constellation Bootes.
