the atmosphere of a planet affected by an event 2.5 billion light years away is insane. for reference that is about 500,000 times further than the furthest star you can see with the naked eye.

That's insane that it was from 2.5 billion light years away and could impact the atmosphere.

You see, son, when an electron and a positron dislike each other very much...

Somewhere out there, some aliens overloaded their anti-matter reactor :D reminds me of an episode of Stargate... "You destroyed three-quarters of a solar system!"... "Five-sixths, but it's not an exact science."

What Anton is referring to in the peak is known as the annihilation peak. It's a well-known effect in gamma ray spectroscopy. When a positron and electron annihilate, you get 2 511 keV gammas. This shows up as a peak in the vast majority of gamma ray spectroscopy. There is also an opposite reaction, that when two gamma rays above 511 keV interact, a positron and an electron can be created.

Please take care of yourself, Anton. We need your shared wonder! Blessings, young man.
