Just read are gamma ray detectors are showing this. They have to be tiny
explosions being as close as 1 LY away. They claim the source could be
two black holes,or two neutron stars colliding. Very interesting Could
answer other hard questions. Will LIGO be used? TreBert

Two neutron stars colliding within the range 1 LY, every month! On the
second month they wouldn't be anyone on earth to see them. I'd want to
be at least a 100 LY away and none of the axises of collision to beamed
in an earthwood direction. Neutron star collisions a very very rare, and
extremely energetic. One be galaxy per hundred years is for an ordinary
super nova. Gamma ray bursts are normally seen in other galaxies not are
own, one per galaxy per 10,000 years (don't have the exact figure to
hand.) They outshine whole galaxies.
