... the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) onboard NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) high in orbit around the Earth, suddenly registered an intense burst of gamma-ray radiation from a direction less than 10€ђ from the celestial southpole ...
... situation is observed with filters probing higher altitudes, such as 1.64, 1.75 and 2.17 ѕ®m. A high-contrast bright feature is observed at the SouthPole and is apparently caused by a phenomenon in the atmosphere, at an altitude below 140 km or so ...
