Behind the Black Blog: A movie of 14 years of gamma ray observations from space

Cool video at the end of the post.

I'm quoting this in order to refer to it later... Perhaps in another post, or an update to this one. Emphasis added.



Quote:

Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light. The movie shows the intensity of gamma rays with energies above 200 million electron volts detected by Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT) between August 2008 and August 2022. For comparison, visible light has energies between 2 and 3 electron volts. Brighter colors mark the locations of more intense gamma-ray sources.
