The first ever space telescope, the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2), was launched into the low Earth orbit in ...

For years, astronomers puzzled over the mystery of where the heaviest elements in the universe—like gold, uranium, and platinum—come from. Scientists understood that these elements had to form under ...

ABSTRACT: Chandra X-ray Observatory and Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope analysis of young supernova remnants (SNRs) Cassiopeia A (Cas A) and Tycho were performed to understand the nature of the high ...

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly named GLAST) was designed and built by NASA, the United States Department of Energy, and agencies in France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Sweden. It launched ...

ABSTRACT: Axions are hypothetical particles proposed to solve the strong CP problem in QCD and may constitute a significant fraction of the dark matter in the universe. Axions are expected to be ...

In October 2022, astronomers were stunned by what was quickly dubbed the BOAT — the brightest-of-all-time gamma-ray burst (GRB). Now an international science team reports that data from NASA’s Fermi ...

The BOAT, formally known as GRB 221009A, erupted Oct. 9, 2022, and promptly saturated most of the gamma-ray detectors in orbit, including those on Fermi.
