Impossibly close...Not "relatively close". Impossibly close, if the resolution of the Copernican dilemma holds (which, we now know, it doesn't).<br /><br />But it is not just one:<br /><br />“We therefore consider it unlikely that GRB 070610 arises from a background (i.e., extragalactic) event. The spatial and temporal coincidence.....suggest that these are strongly related. If so, the event is of Galactic origin.”-- “GRB 070610: A Curious Galactic Transient” M. M. Kasliwal,1 S. B. Cenko,2 et al, Astrophysical Journal 2008, http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/678/2/1127/fulltext<br /><br />Also:<br /><br />"“History is repeating itself. Only 30 years ago, astronomers referred to all bursts of gamma-ray radiation as GRBs........However, fissures are already developing. Recently, hypergiant flares from magnetars in our own Galaxy and nearby galaxies have been found to contaminate the SHB sample. The Galactic rate of the hypergiant flares is likely.....much larger than the estimated Galactic SHB rate...” --“GRB 070610: A Curious Galactic Transient” M. M. Kasliwal,1 S. B.
