NASA Renames Observatory for Fermi, Reveals Entire Gamma-Ray Sky
NASA's newest observatory, the Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, begins its mission of exploring the universe in high-energy gamma rays with a new name. NASA announced Aug. 26 that GLAST has been renamed the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The new name honors Enrico Fermi (1901 - 1954), a pioneer in high-energy physics.
