Sungrazer Comets

Sungrazer Comet
July 23,2002

On July 23, 2002, researchers using NASA's RHESSI spacecraft took pictures of solar flare's gamma and x-ray radiation, which is millions to billions of times more energetic than visible light. After the initial explosions, the lingering metric ton of antimatter could have powered the United States for two years. The 23,000 metric ton, 30 meters in diameter antimatter sungrazer created a billion Megatons of TNT explosion that could have supplied the World's total energy needs for 10,000 years.

Antimatter is generated beneath the flares after they accelerate particles; the fast-moving particles collide with slower particles in the Sun's atmosphere.

 This July 23 flare tipped off scientists because the gamma rays (purple) were not emitted from the same locations as the X-rays (red and blue) as predicted.
