gamma-ray burst or center of gravity isotropic with an increase towards the galactic center celestial sphere gamma ray source gamma ray 0.1 - 4 s July 2, 1967 0.1-1.2 MeV 5 per year Short, intense, low-energy bursts, first recorded by the Vela satellite system on 1967 July 2. Their isotropic distribution suggests an extragalactic origin, but a galactic disk origin cannot be ruled out: there is a large increase in γ-ray flux in the direction of the galactic center.
