The spectacular blast, which occurred in September in the Carina constellation, produced energies ranging from 3,000 to more than five billion times that of visible light, astrophysicists said.
The actual blast did not occur in September, we saw it in September. Since it is 12.2 Billion light years away, that must mean this happened billions of years ago. Is that correct?

re: “If you think about it in terms of energy, X-rays are more energetic because they penetrate matter . . “
Isn't that backwards? The penetrate matter because they are more energetic? What he must mean is they are able to penetrate matter because they are more energetic, although that's not what he said.

Taking into account the huge distance from earth of the burst, scientists worked out that the blast was stronger than 9,000 supernovae Mind boggling power.

Minor nitpick — Pluto is only ~4.5 light-hours away, not 12. Otherwise, we're waiting even longer for New Horizons telemetry to return...
