China launched an astronomical satellite on June 22, the result of nearly 20 years of hard work between Chinese and French scientists, to capture gamma-ray bursts that flicker like fireworks in the farthest reaches of the universe.
The satellite, the Space-based Multi-band Variable Object Monitor (SVOM), was launched by a Long March-2C rocket and has been sent into an orbit over 600 kilometers above Earth.
