NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope "detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light" from a nearby supernova. NASA explains. Credit: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 'We're no longer a ...
Space is a big place and there's lots of strange stuff out there, but scientists aren't quite sure where these massive space ...
An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can now detect solar flares occuring on the side of the sun it cannot see. This could help scientists better understand solar ...
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has surveyed the sky for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the universe’s most luminous ...
Fermi’s main instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), thus operates more like a particle detector. When a gamma ray reaches the telescope, it impacts on a metal foil producing a pair of charged ...
An international team of astronomers reports the detection of four new gamma-ray millisecond pulsars using the Murriyang ...
They aren’t visible to the naked eye but were spotted using NASA’s Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope. Gamma rays may make the Moon shine all year around but they’re fatal to lunar explorers who plan ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the stunning image of Cartwheel Galaxy. This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, ...
One such observatory is the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. NASA launched the car-size satellite in 2008, and it has been mapping a normally invisible side of the universe (shown above ...
