Today, scientists have announced a major breakthrough in the study of gamma rays. Using the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, a group of scientists has detected the highest energy gamma rays ever seen from a pulsar, a type of neutron star. This discovery provides new insight into the physics of pulsar radiation and could help identify the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays in the universe. The results, published in the journal Nature, provide evidence of a new population of gamma-ray-emitting pulsars that have remained undetected until now. This discovery could open up a new window of exploration into the mysteries of the universe.
