A Neutrino Detector. This SyFi looking thing can detect small amounts of Neutrino’s coming from the suns surface.

(NASA)  Neutrino Detector. Two thousand meters below the ground, a giant sphere has begun to detect nearly invisible particles. These particles, neutrinos, are extremely abundant in the universe but usually go right through just about everything. By stocking this 12-meter sphere with an unusual type of heavy water and surrounding it with light detectors, astrophysicists hope to catch the occasional collision. Since the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is sensitive to all types of neutrinos, future results might hold clues to how much neutrinos change types on the fly, how our own Sun emits neutrinos, and even how important neutrinos are to the composition of the entire universe.

Only in the books written in earlier times did she sometimes think she found some faint idea of what it might be like to be alive.

Key creature

Already well known to science is Pareledone turqueti, or Turquet's octopus.

Its wellbeing is key to the lives of other Antarctic animals, being important prey for elephant seals, albatross and shags.
