GRB 200826A, also designated as Gamma ray burst 200826A, is an extremely short duration (0.5 seconds long)[1] and bright gamma ray burst that was formed from a massive, collapsing star (collapsar) that was many times more massive than our sun about to go supernova.[2] The gamma ray burst itself was made when matter swirling around the newly formed black hole escapes to form two astrophysical jets (jets) at the speed of light.[3] It had a relatively low Redshift of z=0.7486.[1]
