Astronomers studying gamma rays said they have found an unexplained activity just outside of our galaxy.

Massive, University of Utah-led Telescope Array has been outfitted to capture new data. On top of opening paths to new scientific discoveries, the images are breathtaking.

Astronomers have discovered around 300 new gamma-ray-blasting pulsars, including several "spider pulsars" that devour the companion stars like black widows.

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found a trove of 294 gamma-ray-emitting pulsars, with an additional 34 candidates awaiting confirmation.

A new catalog produced by a French-led international team of astronomers shows that NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered 294 gamma-ray-emitting pulsars, while another 34 suspects await confirmation. This is 27 times the number known before the mission launched in 2008.

New research shows gamma-ray blasting blazars could also be belting Earth with "ghost particles," or neutrinos.

Scientists have pinned down the energy produced by an unusually bright gamma-ray burst detected in 2022, and wow is it a whopper.

Last year the brightest flash of light ever seen in the night sky disturbed Earth's upper atmosphere in a way that has never before detected before, researchers said on Tuesday. The BOAT also affected the upper ionosphere -- the very first time a gamma-ray burst has been observed in this section of the atmosphere, a team of Italian and Chinese researchers said on Tuesday. 

“This result challenges our previous knowledge of pulsars," study author says

“Once a Card, always a Card.” That’s the popular hashtag or slogan at Mentor High School, whose nickname is the Cardinals, for the last several years, and it has definitely proven true for literally hundreds and hundreds of students in the Mentor Theatre program that this year is celebrating its 100th season.
