NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Swift satellite viewed gamma-ray burst 130427A, which produced the highest-energy light ever detected from a GRB. A record-setting blast…
Astronomers from the Royal Astronomical Society suggest that two compact stellar remnants, such as black holes or neutron stars, collided and released a large gamma-ray…
Using data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a team of astronomers have made the most accurate measurement of starlight in the universe and used…
With a 28-meter mirror and a mass of almost 600 tons, the H.E.S.S. II telescope is up and running, detecting its very first images of…
NASA’s Fermi space telescope captured evidence of two gamma-ray beams that extend from the galactic center to a distance of 27,000 light-years above and below…
New research into gamma rays has led to a discovery that will make many new applications possible in medicine and materials research. Physicists at the…
Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have been routinely observed by orbiting observatories, such as NASA’s Fermi and Swift spacecraft, and astronomers are planning on using them…
It was previously thought that making a lens out of highly energetic light, gamma rays, was impossible. Physicists have created such a lens and think…
