Source of Mysterious Antimatter Found

[gLing]

Antimatter, which annihilates matter upon contact, seems to be rare in the universe. Still, for decades, scientists had clues that a vast cloud of antimatter lurked in space, but they did not know where it came from.

The mysterious source of this antimatter has now been discovered -- stars getting ripped apart by neutron stars and black holes.

While antimatter propulsion systems are so far the stuff of science fiction, antimatter is very real.

Awesome, G. This article goes right in line with an article I read about "rogue" black holes, traveling around and beating up all the little stars.

I am going to have to look deeper into X-ray Binaries now

Interesting.. Pretty scary to think that if 70% of the universe is dark matter, then it really must be a chaotic universe we live in.
