NASA's Fermi Telescope Detects Gamma-Rays From "Star Factories" in Other Galaxies

January 10, 2013
Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT) shows that an intense star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud named 30 Doradus is also a source of diffuse gamma rays. Brighter colors indicate larger numbers of detected gamma rays. Credit: NASA/DOE/Fermi LAT Collaboration
