ANITA: Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna
Part of: GS-III- Space (PT-MAINS-PERSONALITY TEST)
Recently, NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) has detected the unusual upward movement of neutrinos in Antarctica.
Background
Instead of the high-energy neutrinos streaming in from space, they seem to have come from the Earth's interior, before hitting the detectors of ANITA. Usually, the high-energy particles move top to bottom (i.e. from sp
