There's more to thunderclouds than rain and lightning. Along with visible light emissions, thunderclouds can produce intense bursts of gamma rays, the most energetic form of light, that last for millionths of a second. The clouds can also glow steadily with gamma rays for seconds to minutes at a time.

The asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs also set the stage for the evolution of fungus-farming ants, according to a new study published in the journal 'Science'. The low-light conditions that followed the impact 66 million years ago favored the spread of fungi, which thrived on the abundant organic material left by dying plants and animals.
