Telescope snaps gamma-ray bursts in orbit
PENN STATE (US) — The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope allows scientists to measure the super-fast jets that produce gamma-ray bursts.Detectable for only a few seconds but possessing enormous energy, gamma-ray bursts are difficult to capture because their energy does not penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere....
