Nasa’s Fermi makes most accurate measurement of starlight in the Universe – Video
Nasa's Fermi makes most accurate measurement of starlight in the Universe This animation tracks several gamma rays through space and time, from their emission in the jet of a distant blazar to their arrival in Fermi's Large Area Telescope (LAT). During their journey, the number of randomly moving ultraviolet and optical photons (blue) increases as more and more stars are born in the Universe. Eventually, one of the gamma rays encounters a photon of starlight and the gamma ray transforms into an electron and a positron. Continue reading

NASA | Fermi Detects Gamma Rays from a Solar Flare – Video
12-06-2012 13:56 During a powerful solar blast in March, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected the highest-energy light ever associated with an eruption on the sun. The discovery heralds Fermi’s new role as a solar observatory, a powerful new tool for understanding solar outbursts during the sun’s maximum period of activity Continue reading
