I'd like to know, too! The article doesn't indicate if they are intra-galactic (in our galaxy) or extra-galactic.

Based on data from other gamma bursts at the NASA website, it would seem that these are not extra-gallactic events. If not, then any succeeding supernovae should be extremely visible...perhaps to the unaided eye.
