  6. Surface Detector Tank

    Surface Detector Tank by Randy Landsberg from the GigaPan Los Leones Vista by Randy Landsberg

    One of 1600 water tanks that comprise the PAO surface detector. Each 3,000-gallon (12,000 liter) tank, separated from each of its neighbors by 1.5 kilometers, is completely dark inside - except when particles from a cosmic ray air shower pass through it. These energetic particles are traveling faster than the speed of light in water when they reach the detectors; produce a shock wave that creates Cherenkov light .
