Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center, Lead, South Dakota - Part 2, June 5, 2022.

Continued from Part 1... 

In yesterday's blog, I promised to post informational signs from Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center and spell out all the acronyms I threw at you. This blog will have signs from the museum explaining the Homestake Mine history, science about the universe we live in, and cutting-edge research involving neutrinos, matter, antimatter, dark matter, etc. Read on, if you dare. Bypass this blog now if you're not interested.

First, the history of Lead and the Homestake Mine:

Unfortunately, I did not get a
photo of the granite dome.

I also did not take a photo
of the satellite image.

This would have been fun
to be a part of!

Blistered lips or death? I'm picking
blistered lips in this scenario.

Subsidence means the town was
sinking.

A little about a couple of people who worked in the mine:

Paul "Woody" Hover.

See below for the acronyms, and the research that makes this lab so famous worldwide.

Can you believe this?
It's amazing and 
fascinating!

There are a lot of things to consider when you work deep underground. Here are a couple of issues I never would have thought about. I call this housekeeping at a deep level.

That's all I've got from the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center. If you never get a chance to go there, you now have an understanding of the research that goes on regarding our universe. You also have a lot of curiosity and perseverance to get through all that. You can now go back to your ordinary existence.

We're moving on to Rapid City, South Dakota, where we will do three Volksmarches. More blogs to come as I catch up on the early part of our vacation to Alaska.
