GLAST is designed to see the
Universe at extreme energies. GLAST will detect thousands of gamma-ray sources,
most of which will be supermassive black holes in the cores of distant galaxies.
GLAST uses Einstein�s principle of E = mc2 to convert gamma rays into matter
in order to track their cosmic origins. GLAST observations may reveal
signatures of new physics, including the potential to identify the unknown
particle which may compose dark matter.
