Dear Furiends,
Lightning is one of the most incredible natural phenomenons and there’s a lot we don’t know about it. A study at Kyoto University, Japan discovered that lightning strikes can set off photonuclear reactions in the atmosphere and the gamma rays – emitted in lightning – react with the air to produce radioisotopes and even positrons (or, anti-electrons) – the antimatter partner of electrons. Scary, right?
If you’re interested, you can read all about their discoveries here.
