About
Neutrino observatories never see a neutrino directly, because it passes through ordinary matter almost every time. What gets detected is the flash of light the neutrino leaves behind on the rare occasion it does interact, and that flash is enough to trace it back to where it came from. That's the idea behind this project. The reasoning that cracks a hard problem is usually invisible, and easy to read past without noticing it was ever there. The visualization is the flash: the moment that reasoning becomes something you can see and trace for yourself.

Renee
Initiator, Backend Developer, Astronomy Content Editor
I am an aspiring astrophysicist. I investigate physical systems through computational modelling, statistical inference and large-scale data analysis, and I want to contribute to observational and computational research on astronomical datasets. I care about open science and the democratisation of research, so I advocate for accessible scientific data infrastructure, transparent methods and collaborative knowledge-sharing. I also do human rights advocacy, focused on gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights and racial justice. Alongside this, I work in information architecture. I regularly collect, cross-reference and reconcile disparate qualitative sources into one coherent system, which has sharpened my pattern recognition, systematic literature review and technical documentation.
