NASA's Neutrino Detection Project

NASA’s Neutrino Detection Project aims to capture and study neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles emitted by cosmic phenomena like the sun, supernovae, and black holes. Using specialized detectors placed deep underground or in space, the project seeks to understand the universe’s most energetic events and fundamental physics. Neutrinos provide unique insights because they rarely interact with matter, allowing scientists to explore environments and processes inaccessible by other means. This research enhances our knowledge of cosmic origins, the behavior of extreme objects, and the fundamental properties of particles, advancing both astrophysics and particle physics.
