#MegaProject The #universe is "clipping through" you right now! At this exact second, roughly 100 trillion neutrinos are zipping through your body, yet you don't feel a thing. To "catch" these "ghost particles", Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is operating silently 700 meters beneath Jiangmen, #Guangdong province. Using 45,000 ultra-sensitive "eyes" to peer into the void, #JUNO waits for that rare and fleeting spark left by a neutrino. Where do they come from, and what cosmic secrets do they hold? #China #tech #space
