NASA discovers Thunderstorms Create Antimatter in Space

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected beams of antimatter launched by thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms create far more than just rain. NASA has accidentally discovered that they spit out antimatter, too.
Scientists using the space agency's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, a phenomenon never seen before. They believe the antimatter particles were formed during "terrestrial gamma-ray flashes," sharp bursts produced daily inside thunderstorms that are still poorly understood.
