The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 00:44:19 UT on 3 Sep 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200903A (trigger 620786664.250206 / 200903031).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 159.0, Dec = 54.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 10h 35m, 54d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 58.0 degrees.
