I found the wording strange too. Also worded as solar eruption on another video. I suppose they aren't so sure? I think this is very interesting.......... The Mistery |

| Helios Maximus User ID: 74772411 United States05/27/2017 01:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Monstrous cyclones are churning over Jupiter's poles, until now a largely unexplored region that is more turbulent than scientists expected. Nasa's Juno spacecraft spotted the chaotic weather at the top and bottom of Jupiter once it began skimming the cloud tops last year, surprising researchers who assumed the giant gas planet would be relatively boring and uniform down low. "What we're finding is anything but that is the truth. It's very different, very complex," Juno's chief scientist Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute said Thursday.

| joinca User ID: 72473026 United States05/27/2017 03:27 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Our galaxy produces 9 trillion kilograms of antimatter a second—how? Antimatter is rare in this Universe, but the Universe is a pretty big place, so even small quantities can add up fast. In our galaxy alone, there's a steady bath of radiation that indicates positrons are constantly running into their electron anti-partners and annihilating them. Over something the size of a galaxy, that means there are lots of the positrons around. Estimates have it that 9.1 trillion kilograms of antimatter are being destroyed each second.
