KamLAND Verifies the Sun
The KamLAND sphere, shown during its construction in 2001, is a large detector beneath Japan. It helps verify our understanding of the Sun's inner workings by failing to detect anti-neutrinos from nearby nuclear reactors. This 'failure' is explained by neutrinos oscillating between different types, supporting previous findings from detectors like Sudbury.
