Fermi Discovers Gamma-Ray Microquasar

The NASA-operated Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has taken a deeper look into a very peculiar binary system, known as Cyngus X-3. It has discovered, in premiere, unambiguous evidence that high-energy gamma-rays are being produced by the structure, something that no other observatory was able... [ read more >> ]
