Uncontrolled antimatter explodes star clusters
The extreme heat change at the center of a very distant star cluster produces matter particles and antimatter, making this star cluster unstable, sometimes producing fusion reactions in the form of uncontrollable, even humans can observe the scene of the explosion within ½ universe.
According to the American website "Sciencedaily," the discovery by astronomer Peter Genaweiqi and colleagues at the University of Notre Dame.
Antimatter is the antiparticle of ordinary matter, constituted by antiparticles, just as ordinary matter is composed of ordinary particles.

When matter combines with antimatter, the particles and antiparticles will explode to cancel each other out, simultaneously releasing a huge energy.
More than 40 years ago, astronomers have always assumed that the anomalous instability of large stars in the universe was caused by matter and antimatter, but in recent years the houses Astronomy has just begun to conduct research activities to assert this hypothesis.
During the six years of the study, Peter Genaweiqi and his colleagues found the 'heavyweight candidate' to prove the hypothesis. That candidate is the Y-155 star cluster. This star has been blown up by antimatter in uncontrollable form.
Y-155 is located in the starfish position to the south of the fish, about 200 times larger than the sun. This star cluster was discovered in November 2007, through the Blanco telescope with a diameter of 4m at the US National Optical Observatory (NOAO).
After conducting the study, scientists discovered the cosmic bulge stretched to 80% of the wavelength of the Y-155 star cluster. That means that the distance of the explosion has been determined.
When the explosion occurred, the energy level that the Y-155 cluster produced was hundreds of billions of times that of the sun's energy.
Peter Genaweiqi said that although the explosion was huge, the resulting image showed that the star cluster Y-255 was in a "weak" state, because it occurred at a very long distance.
