"The Ghostly Messengers" --Massive Underground Instrument Reveals 'Final Secret' of Our Sun


 
When we consider the origins of life in our Solar System, a remarkable discovery has to be taken into account –the Solar System is substantially over-abundant in metals compared with average interstellar abundances at the time of its formation 4.6 billion years ago. These solar abundances are similar to present interstellar abundances, an anomaly that remains a mystery. One possibility scientists suggest is that the Sun formed much closer to the galactic center than its current position, which may have resulted in a plentiful supply of raw materials in the solar nebula from which to form the Earth and its biosphere. ....

Massive underground instrument finds final secret of our sun's fusion


 E-Mail
A hyper-sensitive instrument, deep underground in Italy, has finally succeeded at the nearly impossible task of detecting CNO neutrinos (tiny particles pointing to the presence of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen) from our sun s core. These little-known particles reveal the last missing detail of the fusion cycle powering our sun and other stars.
In results published Nov. 26 in the journal
Nature (and featured on the cover), investigators of the Borexino collaboration report the first detections of this rare type of neutrinos, called ghost particles because they pass through most matter without leaving a trace.
The neutrinos were detected by the Borexino detector, an enormous underground experiment in central Italy. The multinational project is supported in the United States by the National Science Foundation under a shared grant overseen by Frank Calaprice, professor of physics emeritus at Princeton; Andrea Pocar, a 2003 graduate alumna of Princeton and pro ....
