Unlike typical core-collapse supernovae, the stars that produce long gamma-ray bursts possess a "central engine" – likely a nascent black hole – that drives particle jets clocked at more than 99 percent the speed of light short GRBs are likely produced by the collision/merger of two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a stellar mass black hole.

Solrey, the Sun is the brightest object in the sky, in all wavebands of the EM spectrum, with the exception of very high energy gammas transients aside; GRBs, SNe, etc, certainly outshine the Sun briefly.
