Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Detection Experiment is a neutrino observatory under Mount Kamioka, in Japan. Its purpose is to investigate the neutrino properties observing solar neutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos and man-made neutrinos.
The Super-Kamiokande detector consists of a stainless-stell tank that can contain 5 0,000 ton of pure water. On the tank wall there are about 13000 20 inch PMTs (Photo-Multiplier Tubes).

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory is a neutrino observatory located about 2 km underground in Vale Inco’s Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Canada. It was designed to detect solar neutrinos using a 12 meter diameter acrylic vessel filled with 1000 tonnes of heavy water. Neutrinos reacts with the heavy water (D2O) producing flashes of light called Cherenkov radiation. This light is then detected by an array of 9600 photomultiplier tubes mounted on a structure surrounding the vessel.

Moscow at Night
Moscow appears at the center of this nighttime image photographed by the Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station, flying at an altitude of approximately 240 miles on March 28, 2012. A solar array panel for the space station is on the left side of the frame. The view is to the north-northwest from a nadir of approximately 49.4 degrees north latitude and 42.1 degrees east longitude, about 100 miles west-northwest of Volgograd. The Aurora Borealis, airglow and daybreak frame the horizon.
