- The 2012 Rossi Prize has been awarded to astrophysicist Marco Tavani and the AGILE team for the discovery of gamma-ray flares from the Crab Nebula. Long thought to be a steady source of energy - from optical to gamma rays - this finding has changed the understanding of this very important cosmic object.
