A heatmap image visualizing neutrino flux from the Sun, as detected by the Super-Kamiokande experiment in Japan. Brighter colors indicate higher neutrino density, revealing the Sun's core at the image center. This data, collected over 500 days, provides evidence for neutrino oscillations and suggests neutrinos possess mass, impacting our understanding of the universe's composition and fate.
