Skeptical? Well, you may want to remember that before the study of meteorites began in earnest, scientists dismissed the idea...
...time. The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory, a stainless-steel chamber filled with 12.5 million gal. of water, lined with sensitive light detectors and located deep underground in an old zinc mine near the city of Takayama, is among the most sensitive instruments of its kind in the world.
