Date: August 26, 2008 Source: U.S. Department of Energy Summary: NASA's Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope has revealed its first all-sky map in gamma rays.

After two months of calibration and testing, NASA’s Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope has started to deliver the goods, providing scientists with an all-sky image of the Milky Way.

NASA's powerful new gamma-ray telescope launched smoothly on Wednesday, bringing the space agency one step closer to exploring unknown phenomena such as dark matter and black holes.

On Oct. 22, 2019, the inaugural images from the German X-ray telescope eROSITA were presented to the public at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Bavaria, Germany.

The $25 million Telescope Array cosmic ray observatory was built to detect these high-energy visitors, known as cosmic rays, whose origin remains a mystery. The observatory is a joint venture of ...

NASA is about to launch an exciting new telescope spacecraft that can detect X-rays from black holes and teach us about how the Universe formed. In the early hours of December 9, Nasa plans to blas… ...

But at its peak, the newfound burst sent out 145,000 photons a second, Burrows said—making this gamma-ray burst 10 to 15 times brighter than anything previously seen by Swift’s x-ray telescope.

The launch comes at a trying time for NASA's astrophysics division. Last week, the space agency killed an X-ray telescope mission because it failed to come in on budget. That mission called GEMS ...
