What Does EGRET Stand For?
EGRET stands for Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope
EGRET, or Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope, was a scientific instrument designed to detect and measure high-energy gamma rays emitted from celestial sources. Launched aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory in 1991, EGRET played a vital role in advancing our understanding of astrophysical phenomena, such as pulsars, supernova remnants, and active galactic nuclei. Its groundbreaking findings contributed significantly to the field of gamma-ray astronomy, enhancing our knowledge of the universe's energetic processes.
