GRB 221009A has been referred to as the Brightest Of All Time (the BOAT). We investigate veracity of this statement by comparing it with a half century prompt gamma-ray burst observations. This is brightest ever detected measures peak flux and fluence. Unexpectedly, highest isotropic-equivalent total energy identified, while luminosity at $\sim99$th percentile known distribution. explore how su...
