                  APOD: 2018 June 8 - Fermi Science Playoffs

                         Astronomy Picture of the Day

    Discover the cosmos! [1] Each day a different image or photograph of our
 fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a
                           professional astronomer.

Explanation: NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope [7]  was launched into
orbit on June 11th, 2008. Its instruments detect gamma-rays -- light that is
thousands to hundreds of billions of times more energetic than what we see
with our eyes. In the last decade Fermi's high-energy voyage [8] of
exploration has resulted in a cornucopia of astonishing discoveries, from
extreme environments above our fair planet and across the distant Universe.
Now you can vote for Fermi's best result so far. To mark Fermi's 10th [9]
anniversary, images representing 16 scientific results have been selected and
seeded to create brackets. Follow this link [10] to cast your first round vote
for your favorite out of each pair and then return every two weeks to vote in
the next round. The winner of the Fermi Final will be announced on August 6,
the 10th anniversary of the first science data from Fermi.
