Synopsis
The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope detects beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, marking a significant scientific breakthrough. This phenomenon, never observed before, is linked to terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), which are brief bursts associated with lightning. Scientists estimate that approximately 500 TGFs occur daily worldwide, yet most remain undetected. These findings provide the first direct evidence that thunderstorms generate antimatter particles, reshaping the understanding of these weather events.
