New findings about the early universe, based on observations of Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, are set to be revealed by NASA on Thursday (Nov. 1).
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, launched in June, 2008, is a space observatory that has been surveying the entire sky every day and with high sensitivity - looking for gamma rays with energies ranging from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV. The design life of the Fermi mission is 5 years but the goal for mission operations is 10 years.
Since its launch, Fermi has given new insights into neutron stars, supernova remnants, cosmic rays, binary systems, active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts, according to scientists.
In a statement released today, NASA said that it will discuss new measurements using gamma rays to investigate ancient starlight with the agency's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
