Scientific paper

Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope has been remarkably successful in studying variable Galactic sources. It has discovered over a hundred pulsars and is helping us understand how they work and can serve as tools. It has found remarkable variability in the Crab Nebula whose explanation may have ramifications for many other high energy sources. It has detected a nova outburst raising important questions about their role in stellar evolution. It has monitored neutron star binaries and microquasars which exhibit particle acceleration in unfamiliar environments. Finally, it has studied individual supernova remnants clarifying our understanding of the acceleration of cosmic rays and suggesting a connection to the "bubbles" reported from our Galactic center. These and other discoveries will be reviewed.
