VERITAS

Located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory near Amado, Arizona, VERITAS is an observatory built to study gamma rays from extreme astrophysical phenomena in the Universe. VERITAS scans the night sky searching for remnants of exploded stars, distant active galaxies, powerful gamma ray bursts, and evidence of mysterious dark matter particles.
