[quote:Samuel Adams:MV8xMzIwMjM1XzIxNjU4NzMxXzExRTkwRDk4] "I think this is one of the most exciting discoveries in the geosciences in quite a long time - the idea that any planet has [b][u]thunderstorms that can create antimatter and then launch it into space in narrow beams that can be detected by orbiting spacecraft to me sounds like something straight out of science fiction," he said.[/u][/b] [/quote]
Original Message
A space telescope has accidentally spotted thunderstorms on Earth producing
beams of antimatter.
Such storms have long been known to give rise to fleeting sparks of light called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.
But results from the Fermi telescope show they also give out streams of electrons and their antimatter counterparts, positrons.
