Holy Cow! Anti-Matter From T-Storms!

Hey Space Placers!

You gotta' love Mother Nature! Just when you think we have seen it all as far as Earth's weather goes, a NASA space telescope designed to hunt down high energy events finds such events in our weather! Anti-matter, from thunderstorms?? Are you kidding me????

Obviously not as NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has spotted beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, a phenomenon never seen before. It appears to be a fairly common occurrence as well, happening about 500 times a day!
