Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope full sky map. This gamma-ray all-sky map shows high-energy phenomena such as supermassive black holes and pulsars. It combines three months of data. The line across the centre is our galaxy, the Milky Way. Fermi, formerly known as the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), was launched on 11th June 2008.
