A new study explains how thunderstorm electric fields produce strong gamma‐ray glows with oscillating gamma‐ray rates, and that these oscillations develop into intense pulse trains that closely ...

and supernovae—but also by regular ol’ thunderstorms here on Earth. “Over the last decade, people have discovered that these high-energy gamma rays are present in many, many types of very ...

Recent flights by NASA’s ER-2 aircraft have uncovered new types of gamma rays generated by thunderstorms. These observations indicate that gamma-ray glows are more common and long-lasting than ...

The cosmic pinwheel that astronomers feared could one day shower Earth with lethal gamma rays may not be as dangerous as once ...

The same result is obtained when studying the pulse-height from the gamma-rays emitted by different substances. There is, in this case, a continuous distribution of pulses from zero to a certain ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (Integral) was launched on October 17, 2002 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Its mission was to observe the ...

According to a social media post from MSHP Troop A, troopers across the area were dispatched to help with a number of weather-related calls as a line of strong thunderstorms moved through the region.

Severe thunderstorms pose a threat to both life and property, and that's why warnings from the National Weather Service should be taken seriously. If you're like most people, tornado warnings grab ...
