| 3/29/04 | New RHESSI Lithograph - A new RHESSI lithograph has been created. This one, titled Serendipity: RHESSI Spies a Gamma-Ray Burst, discusses the fortuitous observation of a Gamma-Ray Burst by RHESSI and the new clues into what causes these magnificent explosions. A low resolution PDF of the lithograph can be found here.
