For nearly two decades, scientists have searched for evidence that high-energy gamma rays could escape from superluminous supernovae โ€” some of the brightest explosions in the universe. Now, LSU researchers helped uncover a signal that may finally provide answers. Using NASAโ€™s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the team identified evidence of gamma rays emerging from a rare cosmic explosion, opening a new window into the extreme physics powering these extraordinary stellar events. ๐ŸŒŒโœจ

Today, we celebrate more than degrees โ€” we celebrate discovery, perseverance, and the bright future ahead for the LSU College of Science Spring 2026 graduates! ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿฏ

We were honored to hear from commencement speaker Dr. Jim Dalton, LSU Executive Vice President & Chancellor, who encouraged graduates to โ€œKnow your question. Own it completely. And pursue it with the full force of your training and your intellect.โ€ He also reminded students that โ€œFailure is not the opposite of discovery. Failure is how discovery happens.โ€

Graduates, may you pursue your questions boldly and embrace discovery in every challenge ahead. Congratulations, Tigers โ€” we canโ€™t wait to see where your curiosity and determination take you next!
