A terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF) event with associated electron/positron beams which were detected by the fermi telescope as well as its bounce from the magnetic mirror point

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On Dec. 14, 2009, while NASA's Fermi flew over Egypt, the spacecraft intercepted a particle beam from a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF) that occurred over its horizon. Fermi's Gamma-ray Burst Monitor detected the signal of positrons annihilating on the spacecraft — not once, but twice. After passing Fermi, some of the particles reflected off of a magnetic "mirror" point and returned.
