In the 1990s, NASA satellites designed to detect high-energy particles from distant celestial events made an unexpected discovery - gamma radiation bursts originating from Earth. Scientists quickly linked these radioactive bursts to thunderstorms, but the frequency of the phenomenon remained uncertain. Traditional satellites were not designed to detect such emissions from Earth, making consisten
