Russia has deployed an underwater telescope called the Baikal-GVD (Gigaton Volume Detector) in the Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest lake GVD is one of the three largest neutrino detectors in the world, other 2 being IceCube at the South Pole and ANTARES in the Mediterranean Sea. GVD is designed to detect neutrinos that may have come from the Earth’s core, or could have been produced during nuclear reactions in the Sun, or formed as a result of supernova explosions. It will aid in understanding of the origin of the universe since some neutrinos were formed during the Big Bang Neutrinos:👇 They are not easy to catch, this is because they do not carry a charge, as a result of which they do not interact with matter. Natural sources of neutrinos include the primordial elements within the earth, radioactivity in the sun One way of detecting neutrinos is in water or ice, where neutrinos leave a flash of light or a line of bubbles when they interact.
