- Fog Lifted On Dark Gamma-ray Bursts Across The Universe
Gamma-ray bursts, with their ability to pierce through gas and dust to shine brightly across the universe, are revealing areas of intense star formation and stellar death where astronomers have been unable to look -- the dusty corners of otherwise dust-free...
- Strongest-ever Gamma Ray Explosion Reorded
Astronomers have disovered the "strongest-ever" gamma ray explosion , exceeding the power of some 9,000 exploding stars, in the deep space constellation Carina. The blast was discovered by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a collaboration among NASA, the...
- India Launches Italian Payload
On Monday, the Italian AGILE satellite was launched into space on top of an Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. This was the first commercial launch that India's space program has ever conducted. Foreign spacecrafts have been launched with this...
- Swift Detected Its 1,000th Gamma-ray Burst.
This illustration shows the ingredients of the most common type of gamma-ray burst. The core of a massive star (left) has collapsed, forming a black hole that sends a jet moving through the collapsing star and out into space at near the speed of light.NASA's...
- Nearest Black Hole(or Neutron Star)
According to NASA, astronomers, using Chandra X-ray observatory had almost found a youngest possible Black hole known to exist in our cosmic background, and they even said that it appears to be our nearest possible. The 30-year-old object provides a...

Fermi explores high energy ?space invaders?
New details of high energy particles detected by NASA?s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope were revealed on 4th May, 2009 at the American Physical Society meeting held in Denver.
Since its launch last June Fermi has discovered a new class of pulsars, probed gamma-ray bursts and watched flaring jets in galaxies billions of light years away.
