A Mystery In Gamma Rays
Gamma rays are the most energetic form of light. If you could see them, the sky would be full of objects like those the EGRET instrument found in the 1990s. These are some of the most bizarre objects we know, and some are still unknown. This image plots 271 high-energy gamma-ray sources across the whole sky.
