The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
"At 09:35:52.73 UT on 20 May 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB260520B (trigger 800962557/260520400).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 346.68, Dec = 39.68 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 23h 6m, -39d 40'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 14 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 21 degrees.
