This weekend, a joint French-Chinese mission is launching a telescope satellite aimed at studying gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe.
These bursts, which emit high-energy light and travel billions of light years to reach Earth, could unlock mysteries about the early universe.
Despite their brief duration, they are crucial for understanding cosmic events like neutron star collisions and supernovas.
The mission, known as SVOM, underscores international scientific cooperation amid geopolitical tensions.
