Explanation:
NASA's
Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope was launched into orbit on June
11th, 2008.
Its instruments detect gamma-rays -- light that is thousands to
hundreds of billions of times more energetic than what we see with our
eyes.
In the last decade
Fermi's high-energy voyage
of exploration has resulted in a cornucopia of astonishing discoveries,
from extreme environments above our fair planet
and across the distant Universe.
Now you can vote for Fermi's best result so far.
To mark Fermi's 10th
anniversary, images representing 16 scientific results have been
selected and seeded to create brackets.
Follow this link
to cast your first round vote for your favorite
out of each pair and then return every two weeks to vote in the next round.
The winner of the Fermi Final will be announced on August 6,
the 10th anniversary of the first science data from Fermi.
