And of course Swift is much more than just GRBs and supernovae. Here are a few representative examples of some of the broad science the community is undertaking for : Hot, young and blue stars sparkle in Swift’s ultraviolet view of our neighbor the Andromeda galaxy

Dr. Judy Racusin More GRB - a new class of ultra-long (> 10,000 s) GRBs, possibly powered by the explosion of blue supergiant stars.
