COSMIC MESSAGE

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, located near Hong Kong, helps us understand why there's more matter than antimatter. Eight detectors monitor antineutrinos from nearby nuclear reactors. This photo shows the inside of one detector, with photon sensors that detect faint light from antineutrino interactions.
