What's Made in a Thunderstorm and Faster Than Lightning? Gamma Rays!
A flash of lightning. A roll of thunder. These are normal stormy sights and sounds. But sometimes, up above the clouds, stranger things happen. Our Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has spotted bursts of gamma rays - some of the highest-energy forms of light in the universe - coming from thunderstorms. Gamma rays are usually found coming from objects with crazy extreme physics like neutron stars and black holes.Ā
So why is Fermi seeing them come from thunderstorms?
Thunderstorms form when warm, damp air near the ground starts to rise and encounters colder air. As the warm air rises, moisture condenses into water droplets. The upward-moving water droplets bump into downward-moving ice crystals, stripping off electrons and creating a static charge in the cloud.
The top of the storm becomes positively charged, and the bottom becomes negatively charged, like two ends of a battery. Eventually the opposite charges build enough to overcome the insulating properties of the surrounding air - and zap! You get lightning.
Scientists suspect that lightning reconfigures the cloudās electrical field. In some cases this allows electrons to rush toward the upper part of the storm at nearly the speed of light. That makes thunderstorms the most powerful natural particle accelerators on Earth!
When those electrons run into air molecules, they emit a terrestrial gamma-ray flash, which means that thunderstorms are creating some of the highest energy forms of light in the universe. But thatās not all - thunderstorms can also produce antimatter! Yep, you read that correctly! Sometimes, a gamma ray will run into an atom and produce an electron and a positron, which is an electronās antimatter opposite!
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can spot terrestrial gamma-ray flashes within 500 miles of the location directly below the spacecraft. It does this using an instrument called the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor which is primarily used to watch for spectacular flashes of gamma rays coming from the universe.
There are an estimated 1,800 thunderstorms occurring on Earth at any given moment. Over the 10 years that Fermi has been in space, it has spotted about 5,000 terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. But scientists estimate that there are 1,000 of these flashes every day - weāre just seeing the ones that are within 500 miles of Fermiās regular orbits, which donāt cover the U.S. or Europe.
The map above shows all the flashes Fermi has seen since 2008. (Notice thereās a blob missing over the lower part of South America. Thatās the South Atlantic Anomaly, a portion of the sky where radiation affects spacecraft and causes data glitches.)
Fermi has also spotted terrestrial gamma-ray flashes coming from individual tropical weather systems. The most productive system weāve seen was Tropical Storm Julio in 2014, which later became a hurricane. It produced four flashes in just 100 minutes!
Learn more about what Fermiās discovered about gamma rays over the last 10 years and how weāre celebrating its accomplishments.

āTwice Upon a Time.ā This Christmas. @bbcamericaĀ and @bbcone.Ā
The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctorās (Peter Capaldi) journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor (David Bradley) and a returning Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), for one last adventure.Ā
Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctorās story.Ā
An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanityās darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginningā¦
āTwice Upon A Timeā is written by Steven Moffat, directed by Rachel Talalay, and executive produced by Brian Minchin. The 60-minute special guest stars Mark Gatiss as The Captain and Nikki Amuka-Bird as the voice of the glass woman, and will see Peter Capaldiās Doctor regenerate into the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker).

Hey what the fuck happened to all the net neutrality coverage
This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night
I donāt know why, but I think people are automatically being unfollowed from the Net Neutrality tag. It happens to me every time I try to follow it. Iāll follow the tag, come back 20 minutes later & Iāll for some reason have unfollowed the tag automatically. I think this may be happening to a majority of people in an attempt to silence the resistance. Please take a screen shot of this post in case it gets deleted.
hey yeah can yall reblog this cause this is very important. Tumblr is ACTIVELY trying to silence out outrage at this by making us incapable of seeing coverage of events. Weāre all gonna have to come together and step up about this.
Every little note counts, spread the word, dont give in so easily
I just checked this and i can CONFIRM that tumblr AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAGS AFTER 20 MINUTES
Please spread the word! Screen shot this post just in case it gets deleted!!
There is a reason that happens.Ā Tumblr is OWNED by Verizon who is a leader in throwing money at getting rid of Net Neutrality.Ā They have spent literally millions to bring it down so that they can charge you more, slow down your internet and block you from sites they do not deem appropriate.Ā Keep sending in letters, emails and making phone calls.Ā IF you post about it ADD links for FS!

Holy hell, what a fucking fantastic introduction to a brewery! I used to see these guys all over IG with people saying how great their draft beer was but then once they started canning I didnāt even recognize that the amazing artwork on their aluminum vessels of glory belonged to them so I kind of forgot about them. What a horrible shitty mistake that was. I canāt believe it took me this long to finally taste these guys and I actually feel worse than a female working in Hollywood that I hadnāt tasted them sooner but now that I have, itās fucking go time. I feel like I should buy a replica of the A-Team van and just bust through the wall of their brewery and hijack all the cans with my friends because I am definitely going to need to dive way further into their lineup before I can truly be happy. Now I know you all probably think, Iām some nut job and I would probably make for a pretty good H.M. Murdock but I assure you that I am all John Hannibal Smith because I do love it when a plan comes together and I always try to guide my fellow bastards to victory⦠I mean good beer. This has a great floral IPA hop burst to start things off with a nice bittersweet mixture before those strawberries and cream mix in with swirls of hops and velvety goodness before ending with a juicy, creamy, milky, fruity, hop slushy to wrap things up. Thatās a lot of āyās but they were necessary so chill the hell out. This is a must try in the world of craft because it is pretty much the definition of what a sour IPA should be so do whatever you have to to get your hands on it and if you need help, just call the A-Team. Like, the actual A-Team because Iām way to lazy. Sorry.
