Gamma-ray astronomy did not develop until it was possible to get detectors above all or most of the atmosphere, using balloons or spacecraft.
Gamma-ray astronomy is the youngest entrant into the observational arena. As just mentioned, imaging gamma-ray telescopes do not exist, so only fairly coarse (1° resolution) observations can be made.
The area of gamma-ray astronomy is relatively new and astronomers are not exactly sure what the cause or causes of these gamma-ray bursts actually are.
