Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST, launched June 11, 2008) is a pair conversion detector designed to study the gamma-ray sky in the energy range 20 MeV to >300; GeV. Fermi LAT has observed the diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Galaxy with unprecedented statistics, angular and energy resolution. This provides essential information on the origin and propagation of cosmic rays, Galactic structure and the interstellar medium. We will show spectra of both local and more distant parts of the Galaxy, and discuss the implications for the origin of the emission.
