Explore the Universe With the First E-book From NASA’s Fermi

Excerpt:  “To commemorate a milestone anniversary for NASA’s Fermi spacecraft, the mission team has published an e-book called ‘Our High-Energy Universe: 15 Years with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.’ Readers can download the e-book in PDF and EPUB formats. The e-book is aimed at general audiences with an interest in space. Launched on June 11, 2008, Fermi detects gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light, from Earth’s atmosphere to far-flung galaxies and cosmic phenomena in between. Its research has uncovered details on topics ranging from solar flares to star formation and the mysteries at the center of our Milky Way.”
