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

At 23:36:05 UT on 21 Jan 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250121A (trigger 759195370.779232 / 250121983).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 225.1, Dec = -36.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 15h 00m, -36d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 16.0 degrees.
