This longer wavelength afterglow can last days and Swift alerts ground-based observatories to join the spectacle.
The hard work now begins, as the observatories share their recordings from recent days.
The NuSTAR mission will cost about one-tenth as much as previous orbital X-ray observatories.
He later went to work at several observatories, where he made most of his discoveries.
The observatories will circle this point, keeping the Earth and our star in a near-straight line.
Unfortunately, neither Hubble nor ground based observatories were able to make a distance determination.
FORBES: Scientists Develop Two Scenarios For Cosmic Christmas Explosion
Nor is there any shortage of raw material from which to construct virtual observatories.
He describes research using data from the largest terrestrial telescopes and from successive generations of space observatories.
With not one but two private observatories perched next to his home in the mountains above Santa Cruz, Calif.
It has orbited great observatories that have unlocked the secrets of the universe.
Another goal of the project is to develop ways to ensure that virtual observatories can share and exchange data easily.
The observatories will monitor regions of the galaxy continuously, in order to detect exoplanets as they pass between their host star and the Earth.
If not, the next generation of infra-red space observatories certainly should.
Follow-up observations are also being planned using other ground-based instruments, as well as several space observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the infrared Spitzer Space Telescope.
MSN: Newly discovered alien planet 'resets the bar for weird'
The observatories have been produced as part of a joint Esa programme that has taken more than 10 years to develop and which is worth some 1.9bn euros.
Observatories such as GEO 600 bounce lasers down long tunnels, hoping to pick up the fantastically small disturbances the waves should generate as they pass through the Earth.
Observatories around the world send their findings to the NASA-funded Minor Planet Center, which keeps a database of all known asteroids and comets in our solar system.
It will still need, though, the support of other specialist observatories, operating at a range of different wavelengths, to study these far-distant locations in detail and make sense of them.
BBC: NEWS | Science/Nature | Telescope looks to go to the edge
Both images reveal galaxies that are too faint to be seen by ground-based observatories, or even in Hubble's previous faraway looks, called the Hubble Deep Fields, taken in 1995 and 1998.

It is a remarkably stable platform for astronomical observatories.
FORBES: The Moon is a Natural Platform for Asteroid Mining, Detection and Deflection
While particle-physics colliders and space-based observatories could rule out some of the more exotic versions of each, no one has been able to suggest a way to decide between them in general.
Doubling its staff of scientists and technicians to more than 350 people, the Seattle-based nonprofit group plans to build over the coming decade a series of "brain observatories, " computational tools to map neural behavior.
Fermi and a laundry list of the world's great observatories on the ground and in space were all watching because of a coordinated plan to study Markarian 421 across a number of "colours" of light from radio to gamma-ray.
This unusual approach gives Mr Pohl the freedom to delve into an extraordinarily diverse range of topics, including the operation of neutrino observatories, the physics of rainbows, the principles of plate tectonics, and how to search for fossils in your office's marble lobby.
In his "Space Project, " Vincent pays homage to the world's great centers of space exploration and study: Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Russia, Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, various observatories and antenna arrays, and, most recently, the Ariane Space Center in French Guiana.
One of five European Space Agency missions being considered for launch in the early 2020's, Nasa also has a series of exoplanet projects at various stages of development, and both the James Webb Space Telescope and ground based observatories are getting in on the act.
