Scientific paper

The possibility that a magnetic monople was observed is presented. The monopole density appears to violate bounds on the density of such particles derived from the total mass density of the universe and from the existence of galactic magnetic fields. It is shown that the observation is not inconsistent with these bounds if the monopoles and antimonopoles are bound into positronium, like states with principal quantum-n high enough so that the Earth's magnetic field will break them apart but small enough so that the weaker galacitc mangetic field will not. A range of values for n and is determined and it is shown that lifetimes for such bound states are longer than the current age of the universe.
