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

At 06:34:49 UT on 21 Nov 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221121A (trigger 690705294.743784 / 221121274).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 168.8, Dec = 71.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 15m, 71d 05'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 18.0 degrees.
