"Faraway Gamma-Ray Burst Shakes Earth's Ionosphere with Astonishing Energy"

Scientists have discovered that a gamma-ray burst, known as GRB 221009A, impacted Earth's ionosphere, specifically the top-side, which is less conductive than the bottom-side. The China Seismo Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) recorded a significant spike in the electric field in the top-side ionosphere during the event. This finding challenges previous assumptions about the effects of gamma-ray bursts on the ionosphere and raises concerns about potential damage to Earth's ozone layer if a similar event were to occur within our galaxy. Further research is being conducted to analyze the possible effects on the ozone layer.
