The Universe in a totally new view - An exciting era for science

Next spring NASA plans to launch the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST). This will open new views of the universe since the gamma ray sky looks different from anything we have experienced so far. With GLAST scientists will be able to explore supermassive black holes and neutron stars, which generate enormous power in high-energy gamma rays. At the same time, CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics near Geneva, will begin providing an unparalleled view of nature’s fundamental building blocks and their interactions at the smallest distances by using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). GLAST may probe some of the same microscopic phenomena as the LHC does and show how these processes work in their natural cosmic settings. Such exciting and revolutionary times in science are rare. More can be read in the December issue of ScientificAmerican.
