The article discusses the origin of gamma rays which are wavelengths shorter than 10-11 meters. Topics include a brief description of gamma rays such as the energy of each gamma photon measured in kilo-electron-volts (keV), what the process of creating gamma rays entails, such as the ability to collide particles at the speed of light which converts their mass into energy, and the type of gamma rays of most interest to astronomers.
