The Korean Grand Prix was a complete package of a Formula One race. We watched a dominant leader, a car catching fire, an amazing drive of a racer who did not belong to Red Bull, Ferrari or Mercedes, the best drivers struggling and nowadays a very common sight, Paul Di Resta hitting his car into the barriers.

Using NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, astronomers picked up what is known as a gamma-ray burst, or GRB, that had raced towards Earth from deep space. It has been named GRB 200826A.
