In April 1945, he was sent to Okinawa with the 319th Bombardment Group and flew seven combat missions in A-26s in the Ryukyus Islands before Japan surrendered.
沖縄戦の・・・国家によってのみ左右される歴史というものを否応なしに考えさせられました・・・

GLAST Launch: Feb. 5 2008

Feb. 5 2008 GLAST
An heir to its successful predecessor -- the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory -- the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope will have the ability to detect gamma rays in a range of energies from thousands to hundreds of billions of times more energetic than the light visible to the human eye. Radiation of such magnitude can only be generated under the most extreme conditions, thus GLAST will focus on studying the most energetic objects and phenomena in the universe.
