Subatomic particles called neutrinos permeate the universe. In fact every second, trillions of neutrinos from cosmic sources will pass through your body with no effect. Like visible light from stars, radio waves from galaxies, and X-rays from matter spiralling down black holes, neutrinos can also reveal something of the cosmos.
Neutrino research is just heating up and here are some of neutrino observatories that are in operation around the world.
The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory in Japan, Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Canada, Gran-Sasso Lab in Italy, IceCube Neutrino Observatory in the South Pole are some of the existing neutrino laboratories.
