Last night I had dream in which I witnessed a star explosion.

I was sitting on the balcony, when on on the south-western sky I saw a large bright flare for a second. Then I saw like different shapes landing on the surface and filling the room flying there by the window. I was able to identify shapes such as spirals and pyramids, but there was more, were more complicated and very colorful. Later I heard talk of others, resulted from these that people are surprised, and everyone wondered what had happened.

As the dream made ​​a big impression on me was very ravishing visually and emotionally, I decided that I will add post about this to the forum. Maybe something important had happened or will be soon.

Yeah. That's what I was "waiting" for.

A record-setting blast of gamma rays from a dying star in a distant galaxy has wowed astronomers around the world. The eruption, which is classified as a gamma-ray burst, or GRB, and designated GRB 130427A, produced the highest-energy light ever detected from such an event.
(...)
Just after 3:47 a.m. EDT on Saturday, April 27, Fermi's Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered on an eruption of high-energy light in the constellation Leo. The burst occurred as NASA's Swift satellite was slewing between targets, which delayed its Burst Alert Telescope's detection by less than a minute.
(...)
The burst subsequently was detected in optical, infrared and radio wavelengths by ground-based observatories, based on the rapid accurate position from Swift. Astronomers quickly learned that the GRB was located about 3.6 billion light-years away, which for these events is relatively close.

Gamma-ray bursts are the universe's most luminous explosions. Astronomers think most occur when massive stars run out of nuclear fuel and collapse under their own weight. As the core collapses into a black hole, jets of material shoot outward at nearly the speed of light.

Just want to take a note. FWIW
