Gamma Rays Flash the Power of Hurricane Julio as it Makes it Way Towards Hawaii

Earlier this week, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope picked up a flash of high-energy gamma radiation from what may seem like an unlikely source, the Earth. This radiation, traditionally seen emitting from powerful neutron stars and supernovas, was seen in a temporary flash at the center of Hurricane Julio as it continues to make its way towards the Hawaiian Islands - a testament to the power of the right storm conditions.
