China completes world's largest underground neutrino detector after 10 years
China has completed the world's largest underground neutrino detector: the installation with a height of 12-storey building is located at a depth of 700 meters in Guangdong Province, and its construction took almost 10 years and $376 million.
Neutrinos, which will capture the sphere - mysterious and extremely poorly understood particles, formed including in black holes and inside stars. They almost do not interact with matter and move at close to the speed of light.
As scientists say, the system will help to greatly advance their study, and will be important for fundamental physics and a better understanding of the structure of the universe.

Elon Musk to Boost Starlink Speed to 1 Gbps with New Satellites
To accomplish this, the plan is to lower the orbital altitude from 535-525 kilometers to 485-475 kilometers, make “a few small changes” to the configuration, and launch next-generation satellites that are so large that only Starship can launch them (no exact timeline yet)
