Neutrino Observatory

A neutrino observatory is a scientific facility designed to detect neutrinos, which are tiny, nearly massless particles produced by cosmic events like stars, supernovae, and nuclear reactions. These particles rarely interact with matter, making them difficult to observe. The observatory uses large, sensitive detectors filled with specially chosen liquids or solids, deep underground or underwater to shield from interference. When a neutrino interacts with the detector, it creates flashes of light or other signals, allowing scientists to study their properties and origins. This helps scientists understand fundamental processes in the universe and the behavior of these elusive particles.
