There still are many unanswered questions in high-energy astrophysics: What is happening in the universe to produce so much gamma-ray energy? What happens to the surrounding environment near solar flares? Some of the answers could come from studying gamma-ray-producing phenomena. Scientists still are studying many of the universe’s most exotic and beautiful phenomena. Recent research has highlighted supernova explosions, black holes, merging neutron stars and solar flares, all of which generate gamma-ray radiation. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of light – billions of...Read full article
