astronomers are baffled by GRB 250702B, the longest-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, challenging existing models of thes powerful cosmic events. The burst, detected on July 2, 2023, by the Fermi gamma-ray space Telescope and subsequently studied by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), lasted an remarkable 23.5 minutes. This is significantly longer than most GRBs, which typically last seconds
