ORLANDO, Fla. — Scientists have reported that a neutrino detector in the Mediterranean Sea has spotted the most powerful “Ghost Particle” in history.
The spotted particle is said to be 30 times more powerful than any other active neutrino.
For reference, a Neutrino is a particle that spews from a star like the Sun, and trillions flow through our bodies every day.
They are named “Ghost Particles” because they are so minuscule that they are one of the most difficult particles to spot.
Scientists cannot even spot them when they are moving, only when they collide with other bits of matter.
The theory is that this particular “Ghost Particle” has come from a star from way outside the Milky Way Galaxy.
This particular detector was part of a deep-sea detector, which is part of a massive underwater observatory being built.
