The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, detected an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source at R.A.=74.9 deg, Dec.=22.5 deg, positionally consistent with the Sun (R.A. 74.9 deg, Dec. 22.7 deg, J2000). Preliminary analysis indicates that the Sun was detected in a six-hour period (6-12 UT) on 7 June, 2011 with a gamma-ray flux (E>100 MeV) reaching (4.5+/-0.5)x 10-5 photons cm-2 s-1 (statistical error only).
