The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with NGC 1275 (1FGL J0319.7+4130, Abdo et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 405), a radio galaxy located at the center of the Perseus cluster (see also Abdo et al. 2009, ApJ, 699, 31). Preliminary analysis indicates that the source began brightening on June 26, 2010 with a daily average gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (0.7 ±0.3) x 10-6 photons cm-2 s-1 (errors are statistical only).
