Gamma-ray Detectors
- This Web site is the Compton Gamma-Ray Astronomy home page. It has a lot of information presented in a fairly straightforward way. Includes images, new discoveries, and specs on the instruments. Unfortunately information on many levels is all mixed in together, from middle school to college.
- This is the official website for NASA's Swift Mission, a multi-wavelength observatory dedicated to Gamma-Ray Burst detection. The site includes a general overview of GRBs as well as explanations and pictures of instruments. The site is updated regularly with news on the mission. Material spans all levels, including high school, undergrad, and expert information.

- Official web page for GLAST (Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope). The next generation of gamma ray detectors, this telescope will be able to view large areas at a time, making it easier to "catch" bursts when they happen. The site gives details about instrumentation and mission goals. Appropriate for high school.
