Observations of Gamma-Ray BurstsGamma-ray bursts are now generally believed to originate from cosmological distances and represent the largest known explosions in the Universe. This talk will describe the temporal and spectral characteristic of gamma-ray bursts, their intensity and sky distribution, and other observed characteristics in the gamma-ray region, primarily from data obtained with the BATSE experiment on the Compton Observatory.
