GLASTcast HD: The Extreme Universe

The Universe is home to numerous exotic and beautiful phenomena, some of which can generate inconceivable amounts of energy. Fermi/GLAST opens a new window on this high-energy world. With Fermi/GLAST, astronomers have a superior tool to study how black holes, notorious for pulling matter in, can accelerate jets of gas outward at fantastic speeds. Physicists are able to search for signals of new fundamental processes that are inaccessible in ground-based accelerators and observatories. Fermi/GLAST's spectacular high-energy gamma-ray 'eyeglasses' reveal hidden wonders, opening our minds to new possibilities and discoveries, expanding our understanding of the Universe and our place in it.
