In this illustration, one photon (purple) carries a million times the energy of the other. Some theorists predict travel delays for higher-energy photons. However, Fermi data on two photons from a gamma-ray burst fail to show this effect. Credit: NASA/Sonoma State University/Aurore Simonnet

Pulsars are objects that emit broad gamma-ray beams and have enabled Fermi to locate a never-before-seen population. This image was on the cover of Science Magazine, August, 14, 2009. Credit: NASA/U.S. Department of Energy/Fermi LAT Collaboration/Sonoma State University/Aurore Simonnet
