It’s time to give NASA an astrophysics nervous systemThe most tragic event in modern astronomy isn’t a funding cut or a launch failure. It is a “missed connection.” Right now, a neutron star collision somewhere in the distant universe is blasting out a short gamma-ray burst. In seconds, that signal will fade. In minutes, the afterglow will vanish. While a few elite robotic […] The post It’s time to give NASA an astrophysics nervous system appeared first on SpaceNews.
