Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope Turns Its Attention to Earth

摘要

A NASA space telescope hunting for the most powerful explosions in the universe is turning its eye on Earth to hunt for tiny flashes of radiation to determine if they pose a potential hazard to passengers aboard high-flying airliners.rnNASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has joined the search for mysterious gamma-ray flashes above diunderstorms, which are ultrabrief but could be a concern for air travelers, researchers said.
