March 28, 2011: Swift detected GRB 110328A, which subsequent analysis showed to possibly be the signature of a star being disrupted by a black hole or the ignition of an active galactic nucleus.

Soderberg and her colleagues detected the supernova SN 2008D as it was occurring on January 9, 2008, using data from NASA's Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission X-ray space telescope, from a precursor star in the spiral galaxy NGC 2770, 88 million light years away (27 Mpc).
Some NASA projects using it include the James Webb Space Telescope, Swift's Burst Alert Telescope, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, LCROSS, the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R), and the SCaN Testbed, previously know as the Communications, Navigation, and Networking Reconfigurable Testbed (CoNNeCT).
Cherenkov Telescope Array, eROSITA, Fermi, HAWC, INTEGRAL, MAXI, and Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission will look for transients in X-ray and gamma rays.
