TL;DR Summary

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has created a stunning 14-year time-lapse movie of the gamma-ray sky, showcasing the intensity of gamma rays above 200 million electron volts. The movie captures the sun's movement against the backdrop of high-energy sources within our galaxy and beyond, including powerful flares from supermassive black holes in distant galaxies. The time-lapse also reveals the central plane of the Milky Way, neutron stars, supernova remnants, and distant blazars, providing valuable insights into black hole activity throughout cosmic time.
