Fermi Sees Gamma Rays from Far Side Solar Flares

The video explores solar activity, focusing on how sunspots and magnetic fields can lead to coronal mass ejections and gamma ray emissions. NASA's Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope plays a crucial role in observing these phenomena, even detecting gamma rays from solar storms on the sun's far side. This unexpected observation helps scientists understand particle acceleration and gamma ray production during solar storms.
