| Description: Solar Neutrino Experiment Located 2073 m (6800 ft) underground in the Creighton nickel mine in Sudbury, Canada, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory is centered around a tank that contains 1000 tons of water. Occasionally, a neutrino entering the tank interacts with one or another of the particles already there. Such interactions create flashes of light, called Cerenkov radiation. Some 9600 light detectors sense this light. The numerous silver protrusions are the back sides of the light detectors prior to their being wired and connected to electronics in the lab (seen at the bottom of the photograph).
