Animation Shows The Most Powerful Cosmic Events If They Were Visible To Our EyesA cosmic gamma-ray fireworks is shown in this animation using just a year of data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Each object’s magenta circle grows as it brightens and shrinks as it dims.
