The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
"At 16:07:47.46 UT on 21 August 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250821B (trigger 777485272/250821672).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 39.95, Dec = -77.13 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 2h 39m, -77d 7'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 1.00 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 67 degrees.
