Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope watches the sky for gamma rays, the highest energy form of light.

These detections help scientists learn more about the most powerful events in the cosmos.

Cosmic rays are small particles like protons and helium nuclei traveling at nearly the speed of light. It takes a lot of energy to accelerate them to that speed, so scientists assume they're driven by powerful events like supernovae.

But so far, the telescope hasn't seen enough gamma rays from these sources.
