An Oxford University led research project has made a significant breakthrough observing ‘ghost particles’ for the first time using the SNO+ detector at the SNOLAB in Sudbury.

This split image shows the difference between an active Sun during solar maximum (on the left, captured in April 2014) and a quiet Sun during solar minimum (on the right, captured in December 2019). December 2019 marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 25, and the Sun’s activity will once again ramp up until solar maximum, predicted for 2025.
