  "summary": "Astronomers may have finally solved the mystery behind a nearly two-decade-old cosmic explosion that seemed to break the rules of physics. The energy output of a powerful gamma-ray burst, GRB 061201, discovered in 2006, did not match well-established patterns seen in other similar explosions. Now, in a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal on Aug. 3, astronomers have revealed why.",
