In the early stages they emit enormous amounts of gamma rays in a very narrow beam. It just so happens this beam is pointed right at us.

Great opportunity for research.

Lot’s of this going around lately; there was thread about one in a galaxy some 3.5-4.0 billion light years away, in Draco a month or so ago.
