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

At 14:52:02 UT on 8 Jul 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250708A (trigger 773679127.950166 / 250708619).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 255.1, Dec = 13.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 17h 00m, 13d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 83.0 degrees.

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 250708A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 41028) errorbox  8298 sec after notice time and 8329 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-08 17:10:51 UT, with upper limit up to  17.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 63 deg. The sun  altitude  is -17.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 30 deg., longitude l = 33 deg.
