NASA | GLASTcast | Episode 3: Swift and GLAST

The video discusses the Swift satellite, named after a bird, which tracks gamma ray bursts. Swift and Glass instruments are compared, with Swift focusing on specific objects and Glass surveying the entire sky. Swift is nimble and targets optical and X-ray emissions, while Glass captures higher energy ranges. The collaboration between Swift and Glass enhances gamma ray science by allowing simultaneous observations, providing a comprehensive view of the universe.

Describe the operational differences between SWIFT and Glass in observing celestial objects.

In what way can SWIFT and Glass work together to enhance gamma ray science?
