Earth is surrounded by a belt of antimatter

This was confirmed by the Pamela space probe (short for Payload for Antimatter, Matter and Light Core Astrophysics), which orbited the Earth for four years. Although these antiparticles, the so-called Antiprotons, are few, perhaps they will be enough to power the engines of future spacecraft. The above description of the find shows that when the Pamela flew over the so-called South Atlantic Anomaly anomaly, it detected thousands of times more antiprotons than would otherwise be produced by normal particle or cosmic ray decay.
