Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, artwork C017 / 7230
Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Computer artwork of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in orbit over the Earth. This space observatory was formerly known as the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST. Fermi will study high-energy phenomena such as supermassive black holes and gamma ray bursts from a low Earth orbit. Fermi was launched on 11th June 2008 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. It orbits Earth at an altitude of 550 kilometres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in orbit around Earth, a remarkable space observatory that was previously known as the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST). Launched on June 11th, 2008 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, Fermi is dedicated to studying high-energy phenomena such as supermassive black holes and gamma ray bursts. Positioned at an altitude of 550 kilometers above our planet's surface, this technological marvel conducts its astrophysical research from a low Earth orbit. The illustration beautifully captures the sleek design of Fermi as it gracefully orbits our planet against the backdrop of deep space. Equipped with advanced sensing technology and solar panels for power generation, this unmanned satellite represents cutting-edge advancements in both astronomical exploration and scientific research. Its primary mission involves conducting sky surveys and monitoring gamma ray bursts using its state-of-the-art gamma ray burst monitor. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image created by Carlos Clarivan for Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope stands as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as an invaluable tool for unraveling the mysteries that lie beyond our world.
