Scientists using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected
beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, a
phenomenon never seen before.

Scientists think the antimatter particles were formed in a terrestrial
gamma-ray flash (TGF), a brief burst produced inside thunderstorms and
shown to be associated with lightning. It is estimated that about 500
TGFs occur daily worldwide, but most go undetected.

Thanks for posting that. It is the most interesting thing I have ever
seen mentioned here!

Actually the most interesting thing about satelite data is that nobody
queries any of it.

Consider what the arch mage himself said about solutions and logic:
Admit no more than is absolute truth and if there are two or more
choices, the simplest suffices.

Once a cause has been assumed for a phenomenon, it must be seen to
apply as the cause for all others of the same type or remain an
hypothesis.

Book One, Pincipia; Isaac Newton.

Now consider what dross is written about the upper atmosphere of the
sun. We know (a schoolboy might be expected to know?) magnetism
decreases with temperature.

At 500 degrees (that is, when all matter glows red and emits its own
radiation quite strongly) there is little or no magnetism with the
substance.

I fail to see anything more interesting than that.
Me being an horses arse I suppose?
Again, or not, as the case may be.
