Solar blind photon counters were invented for uv astronomy and later adapted to sensing the uv corona round supersonic objects in daylight and for toxic gas detection. The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, previously called the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission, is a NASA space telescope designed to detect gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). It was launched on November 20, 2004, aboard a Delta II rocket. Headed principal investigator Neil Gehrels, NASA Goddard Space Flight Cent See all the new books from SPIE.

Three of the most well-known names in astrophysics have won the 2000 Bruno Rossi Prize for their pioneering work on gamma-ray bursts, daily explosions from deep in space that outshine the entire universe before fading away in as quickly as a few seconds. The history of gamma-ray began with the serendipitous detection of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) on July 2, 1967, the U.S. Vela satellites.
