Still Waters Posted March 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Russian scientists on Saturday launched one of the world's biggest underwater space telescopes to peer deep into the universe from the pristine waters of Lake Baikal. The deep underwater telescope, which has been under construction since 2015, is designed to observe neutrinos, the smallest particles currently known. Dubbed Baikal-GVD, the telescope was submerged to a depth of 750-1,300 meters (2,500-4,300 feet), around four kilometres from the lake's shore. https://phys.org/news/2021-03-russia-deploys-giant-space-telescope.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
