Fermi's Gamma-Ray Sky
This all-sky map, created from three months of data from Fermi's Large Area Telescope, shows the gamma-ray sky. Gamma-rays are photons with over 50 million times the energy of visible light. This map provides a deeper, better-resolved view than previous missions. It highlights 205 of the brightest gamma-ray sources.
