    this is a picture of the sun in neutrino. exposure time : 503 days !


  2. They are extremely difficult to detect. I think since the 30s they have been postulating about them, but officially in the in the mid 50 a book was written about their detection. Their mass is so low or they have no mass that they go right through us.

  3. The first solar neutrino detection experiments were in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  By 1975, it was realized that the number of neutrinos from the Sun was about a factor of three lower than expected from the average rate of energy production in the Sun (the "solar neutrino problem").  This was resolved when it was discovered that neutrinos have a small mass, and that they oscillate between neutrino states.
