Description
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (previously known as GLAST)
was successfully launched on 11 June 2008. The main instrument,
the Large Area Telescope (LAT) is sensitive from 30 MeV to 300 GeV and
is surveying the full sky every three hours. The gamma-ray
sky at these energies is now monitored with LAT at unprecedented
sensitivity revealing many new sources and demonstrating the
dynamic nature of the high energy universe. Some of the new
results from these observations will be described, with emphasis
on AGN Blazars and galactic X-ray binaries.
