Amazing telescope sent to Lake Baikal

 Amazing telescope sent to Lake Baikal

“Lake Baikal in Siberia is considered to be the largest freshwater lake in the world. Recently, a team of scientists from Russia and the surrounding countries went to Lake Baikal, which is now free of ice, for an exciting research. These scientists have developed a unique type of telescope.”

Telescopes are usually used to observe the sky. To see stars, planets, etc. But this telescope is not like an ordinary telescope in appearance and shape. This is large in size. Built for underwater testing at 4,300 feet (1310 m). Scientists have excavated and sent this telescope to the bottom of Lake Baikal with the aim of exploring something amazing. These wonderful things are neutrinos. The smallest particle in the world discovered by scientists is a neutrino.

 This neutrino telescope has been built since 2015. Covering an area of ​​17,657 cubic feet, the telescope includes a glass sphere, a number of stainless steel modules and a wired system attached to it.

 At first it was thought that the smallest particle was the 'molecule'. However, when science discovered that there was an even smaller one, it was named the atom (atom + molecule). But today, it has been revealed that there is an even smaller particle that can be separated, so it cannot be called an atom. It is a subatomic particle. ‘Neutrons’ and ‘protons’ are such subatomic particles. An even smaller particle (near mass zero) is called a 'neutron'

.

 The neutrino does not emit an electric charge. It is difficult to identify because it has a very small mass close to zero. These particles can be described as the most pervasive liquid in the universe. That's why scientists in Russia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Slovakia have teamed up to build a special microscope to see neutrinos. The neutrino telescope is called the Baikal Biodegradable Observer.

 The neutrino telescope, sent to the depths of Lake Baikal, suggests that the study of neutrino particles could provide an insight into the origin of the universe and the origin of black matter and black energy sources.

 The telescope, built in 2015, was first used for observation on Saturday the 13th. From the edge of Lake Baikal, about a mile and a half inland, cut a square hole in the frozen water, removed the ice sheet, and carefully submerged this neutrino telescope. The telescope is also considered to be the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere.

 ‘Lake Baikal is the only place where a neutrino telescope like this can be installed. Especially because of its depth, ”said Dr. Bea Shoibinov, one of the researchers on the project. Baikal is a freshwater lake and its clear water is another reason, 'he added. Through this neutrino telescope project, a study is being conducted on the sources of high energy universal neutrino flows. Lake Baikal has been covered in snow for two months and the lake is free of ice, which is said to be ideal for this research.

 Because the telescope is compact, its high-energy neutrino has a number of parts that can be observed separately. Because of this, the entire telescope can be assembled into separate observations without having to be rearranged.

 It is very difficult to identify because neutrinos do not react with small particles. This is said to be difficult because these neutrinos travel at the speed of light, without reacting with ordinary matter. To identify neutrinos, you need a quiet, deep place by nature. Like Lake Baikal, scientists have identified the South Pole and the Mediterranean Sea as such. It is believed that the telescope will detect about 30 neutrinos a day in straight lines, among the massive neutrino beams coming to Earth, as well as the more than 100 trillion neutrinos passing by every second.
