When a star goes supernova it releases a bursts of energy (which is also radioactive) that shoot out from the core. Gamma ray bursts have intense radiation and travel so quickly that if one were to hit earth we would get no warning until it hit us and everything would be vaporized. There is a dying star close to earth and right now at any moment it could go supernova and the worst part is its release of energy is aimed right at us. Gamma ray bursts also form when 2 neutron stars collide or when a neutron star collides with a black hole.
