Figure 2:
A schematic view of cosmic ray propagation
in the interstellar medium. It shows
processes of spallation and production of
new particles and isotopes, and production
of diffuse gamma-ray and synchrotron
emission.

Figure 3:
A skymap >100 MeV (counts) as seen by
the gamma-ray telescope Fermi/LAT, a
superior new instrument. Most of the
emission that we see is produced by cosmic
rays interacting with interstellar gas and
radiation field and called the diffuse
emission.
