Hi Ron,

Thanks for the link.

Now that is interesting and a fabulous discovery for the Fermi probe.
Hopefully it will provide another vital clue to the gamma ray burst puzzle.

That was a good read Ron, many thanks. Even hubby read it. :thumbsup:
Fermi has been giving us some amazing information, with more amazing questions to be answered. Seems they are puzzled by this 12th April gamma ray event... mind boggling that the burst lasted for 6 days! So much out there that's still not understood.

As you say Suzy such a lot to come out of this that we don't understand, and it will take years to digest all the info and make something of it:eyepop:
Cheers:thumbsup:
