Captured Lightning X-ray first

Scientists build
special camera to get an X-ray image of lightning, thunderstorms emit radiation, gamma rays and antimatter.


Like a cosmic ray, rather, showing that lightning is cosmic-ray radiation emitted, gamma rays and antimatter particles, this is the first image of lightning in the atmosphere captured with X-ray camera To capture this image scientists Florida Institute of Technology built a hyper-fast camera that "freezes" the beam, which goes to a sixth of the speed of light (take less than 9 seconds to reach the Moon.)

The image shows that most of the radiation is at the tip of the beam. It has long been known that thunderstorms emit radiation, but this is the first time can be observed directly. Recently it was discovered that storms eléctrcias antimatter particles emitted.
