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

"At 07:09:47.31 UT on 14 September 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240914B (trigger 747990592/240914298).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 293.61, Dec = 29.25 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 19h 34m, +29d 15'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 2.36 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 52 degrees.
