About this work

A radiating thriller of cosmic proportions! Gamma Ray Ghouls: "In the depths of the universe, the cores of two collapsed stars violently merge to release a burst of the deadliest and most powerful form of light, known as gamma rays. These beams of doom are unleashed upon their unfortunate surroundings, shining a million trillion times brighter than the Sun for up to 30 terrifying seconds. No spaceship will shield you from the blinding destruction of the gamma ray ghouls!" NASA Exoplanet Exploration Halloween poster 2020
