Imagine that you have been hurtling though the universe for millions of years, at very close to the speed of light. That you can pass through pretty much anything that got in your way, like a planet for example. But then you have the misfortune to bump into a plastic encased 'dome of gubbins' that looks like something out of the special effects department of the BBC circa 1985. Then, as the elusive Neutrino, you may just feel that this is not your lucky day. Because your presence has been captured by giant detector buried 1.5 miles under the South Pole.     http://www.icecube.wisc.edu/
