A Retired Cold War Spy Plane Discovered Something Really Weird About Thunderstorms

Large thunderstorms emit high levels of gamma radiation, challenging current understanding of lightning formation.

Spy plane observes how storms produce radioactive clouds and antimatter

NASA's ER-2 aircraft is advancing our understanding of thunderstorms and their mechanics, including the unprecedented production of gamma rays during storm activity.

NASA selects SpaceX to launch a gamma-ray telescope into an unusual orbit

NASA's COSI satellite will analyze gamma-rays from celestial events to study nucleosynthesis, antimatter, neutron star mergers, and soft gamma-ray bursts.
