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

At 14:40:28 UT on 25 May 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200525A (trigger 612110433.485766 / 200525611).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 20.6, Dec = -8.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 01h 22m, -8d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.7 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 65.0 degrees.

MASTER-IAC robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Spain (IAC Teide Observatory) started inspect of the Fermi GRB 200525A ( Fermi GBM team, GCN 27819) errorbox  48792 sec after notice time and 48818 sec after trigger time at 2020-05-26 04:14:07 UT, with upper limit up to  17.7 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 78 deg. The sun  altitude  is -22.1 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -65 deg., longitude l = 123 deg.
