Precision steerable drilling hugely benefits from yet more technology real-time data from a technique called logging-while-drilling using technologies like gamma ray and neutron sensors that continuously analyze and report what precisely is in the ground at that point.

After analyzing the data, one team of scientists has concluded that the most likely scenario for this gamma ray burst is that it was the result of a collision between two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole.
