Sorry to be technical

"Geminga was the first example of an unidentified gamma-ray source, a source which could not be associated with any objects known at other wavelength. It was first detected as a significant excess of gamma-rays over the expected background of diffuse Galactic emission, by the SAS-2 satellite (Fictel et al. 1975)"

thats more than a decade...
