I took a picture of #jupiter this morning and I think it's my best one yet! The conditions were the best I've ever seen in my backyard in #purmerend, the Netherlands. Gear: Skywatcher Skymax 180 and ZWO asi 224MC-s. #astrodon #astrophotography

Draw a one centimetre square on your finger & hold it towards the Sun 👆

Now consider that some 60 billion neutrinos hit it every second, created by nuclear fusion in the solar core 500 seconds ago 🙀

Even if it’s nighttime & your finger has to point down through Earth’s surface – they don’t care 🙃

But if it makes you feel better, there are only about 2 solar neutrinos in each cubic centimetre of you at any given instant 🤷‍♂️

Well, plus another 300 from the Big Bang 😬
