Physics - Universe - Learning Points. During the Cold War, the US suspected the Soviets of testing nuclear bombs on the dark side of the moon. In 1967, satellites built to detect nuclear weapons picked up a powerful radiation signal from deep in space. When massive stars die they form black holes, sending out great jets of high-frequency radiation called gamma rays. The most distant gamma ray burst discovered so far took place 13 billion light years away. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
