The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a space observatory that will study some of the most energetic events in the Universe. GLAST will bring unprecedented clarity to a Universe invisible to our eyes yet, quite literally, all around us. GLAST is an exciting and intriguing NASA mission that is due for launch in 2007.
