It was the brightest event known to have impacted this planet from an origin outside the Solar System; if these gamma rays were visible, with an absolute magnitude of approx. −29, it would be brighter than the Sun (as measured by the Swift spacecraft).
Foi o evento máis luminoso que "impactou" co noso planeta dende fora do noso sistema solar; se os raios gamma fosen visibles, estes terían unha magnitude absoluta de aproximadamente −29, posiblemente máis brillante co noso Sol (medido polo enxeño espacial Swift).
