    Gamma ray bursts can release in a few secs as much energy as the sun will in its lifetime. If a GRB goes off <10k light years from us it could cause a mass extinction event. Also, GRBs travel at the speed of light so we might only learn about it when it reaches uspic.twitter.com/dkOyLTT0Vy

        The good news is that the rate of GRBs (and supernovas) is declining exponentially with time due to a reduction in star formation rate (their progenitors tend to be heavy stars). As an existential risk they are pretty marginal already compared to even asteroid or comet impacts.

        The lesson here is to live every day as if it’s your last: hiding under a table and weeping.

        As it lasts only a few seconds you would imagine that on the first order, "only" half of the Earth's surface would be hit, would it not?
