* ASTRONOMY IN A GOLD MINE

Network Three
on Network Three

by ARNOLD WOLFENDALE
Professor of Physics in the University of Durham
Professor Wolfendale's group, together with scientists from India and Japan, is taking part in experiments in India which will soon lead to a new form of astronomy whereby the interiors of stars can be studied. This will be done by going to the bottom of a gold mine to trace neutrinos-ephemeral particles with no mass-that come from the thermonuclear reactions taking place in the star's core.
