The Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a scientific instrument designed to detect high-energy gamma rays from cosmic sources. It is a key component of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, launched in 2008, which studies the universe's most energetic phenomena, such as supernovae, black holes, and pulsars. The LAT uses advanced technology to capture and analyze gamma-ray photons, providing valuable data for astrophysics. By observing gamma rays, the LAT helps scientists understand fundamental processes in the universe, including the formation of elements and the behavior of dark matter. Its findings contribute to our knowledge of cosmic rays and the overall structure of the universe, enhancing our understanding of astrophysical events.
