Could there be a Cluster of Antimatter Stars Orbiting Our Galaxy . . . ? February 18, 2021 10:20 am DanS

Could there be a Cluster of Antimatter Stars Orbiting Our Galaxy?
Antimatter shed by anti-stars could even be detectable here on Earth.

By Paul Sutter | Astrophysicist

February 9, 2021 | We don’t know why the universe is dominated by matter over antimatter, but there could be entire stars, and maybe even galaxies, in the universe made of antimatter.

The anti-stars would continuously shed their antimatter components out into the cosmos, and could even be detectable as a small percentage of the high-energy particles hitting Earth.
