The European Space Agency’s gamma-ray observatory, Integral, has completed its observations after 22 years in space, significantly advancing our understanding of high-energy cosmic phenomena. Launched on October 17, 2002, Integral has played a crucial role in unraveling the nature of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the origins of gravitational waves. It identified the sources of these events, including supernovae and collisions between black holes and neutron stars, revealing that some GRB events have the potential to impact Earth’s atmosphere. Integral was the first space observatory capable of simultaneously monitoring celestial objects in gamma rays, X-rays, and visible light, which facilitated groundbreaking…
