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. The surprise result was presented by researchers at the American Astronomical Society meeting in the US. [ link to www.bbc.co.uk] |

The British Geological Survey asks "Is a magnetic reversal in progress?" [ link to www.bgs.ac.uk] |

Is it that uninteresting of a topic? |
