Comets
In 2002, I announced
the discovery that comets are composed of antimatter
to joint meeting of American
Physical Society and American
Astronomical Society. Hundreds of comets
are orbiting the
sun. As comets gets closer to the sun, comet's coma and tail gets brighter
with the increased in the solar wind/dust particles and antimatter ions/dust
particles annihilations.
People observe comets from the light
and x-rays produced from matter-antimatter annihilation.
The picture of Halley's nucleus is
blacker than coal except for ten
percent that is active. The solar
wind and dust
particles are blasting antimatter fragments,
dust and ions
off the comet's surface and can heat the comet's surface to over 300 degrees Kelvin.
The antimatter mixes with the solar wind and
dust particles to create the comet's plasma coma and tail.
Antimatter
energy is significantly greater than kinetic energy
when comets come in contact with other objects. In
1993, the Shoemaker-Levy/9 comet was discovered
orbiting Jupiter. The following
year, the comet split into over twenty-one fragments and produced explosions
over several million kilometers section of Jupiter's surface as shown
below.
Fragment G
created an exposition with a plume that was five times the diameter of the
earth. If fragment G had collided with the earth, civilization as we know
it would not exist today. A small asteroid
or meteor could not have produced this massive explosion.
Understanding comets provides a link between astrophysics and high energy physics.
