The elusive antimatter sought to exhaustion is very nearby, the two puzzles simultaneously, creating antimatter on the one hand and the origin of terrestrial gamma rays on the other, access to this knowledge itself deserves a toast.

Fermi telescope is designed to monitor rays gamma, which are the most energetic form of light. When antimatter hitting the telescope collides with a particle of normal matter, both particles are immediately destroyed and converted into gamma rays. The GBM has detected gamma ray energy of 511,000 electron volts, which indicates that an electron has found its antimatter counterpart, a positron.

"In orbit for less than 3 years, the Fermi mission has proven to be an incredible tool to explore the universe. Now we learned that you can also discover mysteries much closer to us," said Ilana Harrus, who is program scientist Fermi at the base of operations NASA, in Washington.

In most of the observed TFR, the spacecraft was directly above a thunderstorm. However, in four cases, the storms were far away from the Fermi. In addition, the radio signals produced by lightning, which were detected by a global monitoring network indicate that lightning was hundreds of miles away or more the time of the detection. TGF occurred during a December 14, 2009, Fermi was located on Egypt, but the active thunderstorm was in Zambia, about 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles) south. Distant storm was below the Fermi horizon, so it was not possible to detect gamma rays produced by it.

"Although Fermi could not see the storm, the spacecraft was magnetically connected to it," said Joseph Dwyer, who works at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida. "The electrons and positrons produced TGF high speed, which traveled over the Earth's magnetic field to collide with the spacecraft."

The beam continued to travel beyond the Fermi telescope to get to a place known as a mirror where the movement took a step back and hit back to Fermi, a mere 23 milliseconds later. On each occasion, the beam collided positrons with electrons in the spacecraft. The particles annihilate each other, thus emitting gamma rays detected by the GBM located on board the Fermi. http://ciencia.nasa.gov/ciencias-especiales/11jan_antimatter/
