However, photons may take centuries to escape the dense solar core, making them incapable of providing real-time information. Neutrinos, on the other hand, pass through almost instantly, yielding real-time insights into what’s happening deep inside the Sun.
New developments required
While the neutrino method sounds interesting, it is still not known how much scientists can learn about the density structure of the sun from them. Although existing neutrino experiments have provided valuable insights, more data is needed for precise measurements.
This is why scientists await further information from upcoming experiments such as the JUNO and DUNE. The former stands for Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory. It is an experiment in China designed to study neutrinos from nuclear reactors.
