On 2011 June 18 at 08:47:25 UT, an extremely intense, long duration GRB
was observed by Fermi (GBM), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, MESSENGER,
Mars Odyssey, and Swift (outside the coded field of view).  We have
triangulated it to the following 3 sigma error box, whose area is 1.41
square degrees:

-----------------------------------------------
    RA(2000), deg              Dec(2000), deg
-----------------------------------------------
Center:
  176.808 (11h 47m 14s)   -71.688 (-71d 41' 16")
Corners:
  176.474 (11h 45m 54s)   -70.272 (-70d 16' 19")
  175.222 (11h 40m 53s)   -71.703 (-71d 42' 12")
  177.247 (11h 48m 59s)   -73.095 (-73d 05' 42")
  178.392 (11h 53m 34s)   -71.659 (-71d 39' 33")
-----------------------------------------------

Some improvement in this localization is possible.  The spectral and
temporal properties of this burst will appear in a forthcoming GCN.
