ANITA (Astrophysical Neutrino Identification Testbed Array)

ANITA, or Astrophysical Neutrino Identification Testbed Array, is a scientific experiment designed to detect high-energy neutrinos, which are tiny, elusive particles from space. Positioned on Antarctica's surface, ANITA uses balloon technology to float above the ice and capture signals from these neutrinos as they interact with the Earth's atmosphere. The goal is to identify their origins, which can help scientists understand cosmic events like supernovae and black holes. By studying these particles, researchers hope to gain insights into the universe’s most energetic phenomena.
