# The Beginning of Gamma Astronomy

## TL;DR

This paper reviews the early discovery and study of gamma-ray bursts, analyzing their distribution and brightness to support the hypothesis of a cosmological origin.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive summary of the initial findings and distribution analyses that support the cosmological origin of gamma-ray bursts.

## Key findings

- Gamma-ray bursts are distributed isotropically across the sky.
- Brightness distribution supports a cosmological distance scale.
- Early studies suggest a non-local origin for gamma-ray bursts.

## Abstract

In the first part of this paper we summarize the discovery and the early study of the gamma-ray bursts. The second part studies the spatial and sky distribution of the bursters. The brightness distribution is also studied. In the conclusion we discuss that these are supporting the cosmological origin of the gamma-ray bursts.
