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

At 12:32:18 UT on 18 Sep 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250918A (trigger 779891543.0931 / 250918522).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 221.8, Dec = -15.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 47m, -15d 54'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 93.0 degrees.
