Key points:
Lightning is directly linked to events that produce some of the highest-energy light naturally made on Earth: terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs). NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope was recently fine-tuned to better catch TGFs. NASA’s scientists observed antimatter structures forming above thunderstorms on Earth.
