COSMIC MESSAGE
The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, CGRO, was the most massive instrument ever launched by a NASA Space Shuttle in 1991. It continues to revolutionize gamma-ray astronomy. This orbiting observatory sees the sky in gamma-ray photons, light so blue humans cannot see it. These photons are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere from reaching the Earth's surface.
