China and France jointly sent a satellite or artificial satellite to know the secret of the most powerful explosion in the universe. Last Saturday, the 'Space Variable Object Monitor' satellite was launched by a rocket named 'Long March 2-C' from the space base located in Xichang, China. The satellite, built by scientists from China and France, has four instruments. Scientists believe that information about the center of gamma ray bursts in the universe can be found through the 930 kg satellite placed in orbit 625 km above the earth.

Gamma-ray bursts are usually followed by massive stellar explosions. These explosions are 20 times more powerful than the Sun. The explosion produced a bright cosmic light, equivalent to the explosion of hundreds of billions of suns. Center for Astrophysics, Flatiron Institute, New York, USA

Astrophysicist Ore Gottlieb says the whole thing feels like looking back in time because the light from the explosion takes so long to reach us. Different rays carry traces of gas and galaxies as they come through space. The new satellite will collect important data to better understand the history and evolution of the universe.

According to scientists, the new satellite has the potential to unravel several mysteries. This includes the most distant Gamma Ray Burst or GRB burst in the Universe.

The most distant explosion detected to date occurred 630 million years after the Big Bang. At that time the universe was in its infancy.

Frédéric Daigne, an astronomer at the Paris Institute of Astrophysics in France, said, 'We are interested in knowing the secret of gamma-ray bursts for our own sake. Data from these explosions will help us better understand the death of stars. By analyzing the satellite data we can analyze all the impossible events. The new satellite was jointly launched by the French and Chinese space agencies. China's space cooperation with Western countries is said to be quite unusual.
