This animation shows a gamma ray (purple) entering a corner tower of the Tracker. After the electron (red) and positron (blue) cascade down the tower, their incoming paths (red/blue) combine to show the original path (purple) of the incoming gamma ray that created them. 10167 GLAST's LAT Instrument
This  beauty shot shows an over-the-shoulder view of the spacecraft. 10166 GLAST's New Window on the Universe
This footage shows the LAT instrument in the cleanroom at the NRL. 10165 GLAST LAT Testing - B-Roll
This beauty shot provides a 360-degree view of the spacecraft without a simulated gamma ray sky. 10164 360 Degrees of GLAST
This beauty shot begins with the earth in full view and pans to reveal the spacecraft in orbit. 10163 The GLAST Spacecraft in Orbit
This animation shows a high-energy photon (blue coil) colliding with a free electron (red ball), which causes the release of a gamma-ray (purple flash). 10155 Gamma Ray Creation
This animation shows a Cepheid variable star varying in brightness in the arm of a spiral galaxy. 10145 Cepheid Variable in Spiral Galaxy
This animation zooms into a black hole and its accretion disk to show a millisecond pulsar in close-up.
10144 Millisecond Pulsar with Magnetic Field Structure
This animation shows a wide shot of a millisecond pulsar. 10143 Millisecond Pulsar with Gravitational Waves
 This animation shows two black holes orbiting each other, producing gravity waves. 10142 Gravitational Waves from Black Holes
This animation zooms into a black hole and accretion disk showing how the spinning black hole drags spacetime around with it. 10141 Matter Rides a Wave Around a Black Hole
A closer look at the center of a spiral galaxy reveals a pair of black holes locked in a death spiral. When they merge, a massive amount of energy is released in the form of jets. 10140 Merging Black Holes
This animation provides a cutaway of a black hole's accretion disk, allowing the viewer to see inside. 10139 Black Hole Accretion Disk
This is a computer-generated flight through more than 10,000 real galaxies. 10138 'Hubble: Galaxies Across Space and Time' (IMAX Short Film)
