///@amazingsciencez: At first glance, it looks like a particularly crap piece of clip art. But the accompanying explanation is enough to make you scratch your head. This image was captured back in June, 1998 and was recorded from a mine in Japan and scientists needed 500 days’ worth of data to produce it. The picture is of the sun, but it was taken *THROUGH* the Earth using elementary particles known as neutrinos. They are a fundamental piece of matter able to pass through the Earth without interacting with any other particle.
