Comets

Antimatter that enters our solar system is called comets. After searching for natural sources of antimatter for over seventy years, comets were discovered in 2001 to be natural sources of antimatter or mirror matter. When matter and mirror matter come together, Mirror Energy is created according to Einstein's equation of mass times the speed of light squared or E = mc². Mirror Energy is the most efficient energy source in the universe. We are able to observe comets from the mirror energy produced by matter and mirror matter.

As antimatter comets approach the Sun, comets can be seen because the solar dust particles are blasting antimatter off the comet's surface to form the plasma coma. The solar wind pulls the plasma off the coma into the comet's tails, which bend in the direction of the solar wind. The coma and the comet's tail are a plasma of electrical charged matter and antimatter particles. The matter and antimatter annihilations creates gamma-rays, x-rays, and spectrum of light. The annihilation energy is billions of times more than the sunlight reflecting off the comet's nucleus, which is blacker than coal.

When antimatter sungrazer comets collide with the Sun, the annihilation energy productions large sunspots and enormous explosions. 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, there was enough residual antimatter to powered the United States for several days. The 23,000 metric ton, 30 meters in diameter antimatter sungrazer created over a billion Megatons of TNT explosion that could have supplied the World's total energy needs for 10,000 years. Today, scientists have taken pictures and movies of hundreds of sungrazer comets that have collided with the Sun.

According to The New York Times article entitled, "Astronomers Link Gamma-Ray Bursts to Supernovas," antimatter comets are colliding with stars throughout the Universe and are the source of gamma-ray bursts that scientists have been studying for forty years.
