The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope triggered on the BOAT just before 9:17 a.m. EST, and the wave of high-energy radiation was detected on Earth by ground-based gamma-ray observatories.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope triggered on the BOAT just before 9:17 a.m. EST, and the wave of high-energy radiation was detected on Earth by ground-based gamma-ray observatories. NASA's Swift satellite missed the show because Earth was blocking its view. The burst's afterglow was so bright that, almost an hour later, Swift's Burst Alert Telescope was triggered by it.Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
