19 mar - 18 apr 2010: 7 Alerts! GRB 100319A, INTEGRAL Alert n. 5995 (A0535+26 and LS V +44 17), GRB 100413A, GRB 100418A

During about 30 years astrophysicists tried without any success to solve one of the most mysterious problems -- problem of nature of Gamma Ray Bursts. Dozens of space experiments, dozens of dozens of theoretical papers just were fogging the situation. Only recently, in spring 1997, it becomes clear that we deal with the most huge and powerful phenomenon in the Universe.
