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

At 22:55:48 UT on 22 Oct 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221022B (trigger 688172153.911872 / 221022955).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 167.4, Dec = 15.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 09m, 15d 24'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.8 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 93.0 degrees.
