"Fermi Mission Captures 14-Year Gamma-Ray Sky Time-Lapse"

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has created a stunning 14-year time-lapse movie of the gamma-ray sky, showcasing the cosmic dance of high-energy sources. The movie captures the Sun's path against the backdrop of intense gamma-ray sources, including flares from supermassive black holes in distant galaxies. Gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light, are detected by Fermi's Large Area Telescope. The movie reveals the central plane of the Milky Way, neutron stars, supernova remnants, and distant blazars, which are galaxies hosting black holes with fast-moving jets of matter. The time-lapse provides valuable insights into black hole activity and cosmic events throughout the universe's history.
