For all you astronomy buffs out there, this is pretty awe-inspiring. It happened on the far side of the galaxy, but the flash of radiation was so powerful it bounced off the moon and lit up the atmosphere!

That's an interesting way to describe it.

Amazing that it was all the way across the galaxy and we still got some of its radiation!
