The piece on display inside at Science North is the inner vessel from a dark matter experiment that was installed at SNOLAB called MiniCLEAN (mini Cryogenic Low-Energy Astrophysics with Noble liquids).

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it an alien spacecraft? No! It is a piece of a dark matter experiment! Earlier this summer a new outdoor exhibit made its way to Science North from SNOLAB.

Building a cross-border dark matter experiment deep underground — during a pandemic
Creating a hypersensitive dark matter detector in a clean lab more than a mile underground is no mean feat in and of itself. Add a closed border and COVID restrictions to the mix, and you have the scenario that Fermilab, SNOLAB and the SENSEI collaboration faced. Undeterred, they found a way to proceed with installation.
There's more of the universe that we don't understand than we do understand. Ordinary matter—the stuff that scientists have spent decades studying—makes up around five percent of the universe. The remainder is thought to be comprised of dark energy (around 70 percent) and dark matter (around 25 percent). What is all this dark stuff and how do we know it's there if we can't even see it directly? We know that dark matter exists because it acts on the cosmos in a number of ways. In the 1930s, an astrophysicist named Fritz Zwicky realized that, in order to act the way they do, galaxy clusters must contain a lot more mass than was actually visible. If the galaxies also contained unseen "dark" matter, everything made a lot more sense. Then, in the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin discovered that stars at the edge of a galaxy move just as quickly as stars near the center. This observation makes sense if the visible stars were surrounded by a halo of something invisible: dark matter. Since then, a number of other astronomical observations have confirmed the effects of dark matter. Learn More
Working in This Lab Must Be Like Starring in a Sci-Fi Film
The following photos show a place that you might think serves as a supervillain’s lair at first glance. As a matter of fact, there are no dark schemes being plotted here—only dark matter physics.

9 Invenciones Increíbles que Nos Han Ocultado - YouTube
BRAIN TIME ► https://goo.gl/UjQntt
Hoy en día, existe una gran cantidad de dispositivos y aparatos con los que los científicos estudian la materia oscura, los agujeros negros y otros misterios inexplicables del universo. Cada año, la ciencia se desarrolla más, y nuevas verdades son reveladas a la humanidad, verdades que años atrás eran inimaginables. Probablemente hubiéramos podido llegar a todos estos descubrimientos únicos mucho antes, si... si usáramos todos los inventos que los genios científicos alguna vez crearon. Pero muchos de ellos fueron olvidados o escondidos de manera inmerecida, y algunos se perdieron por completo en las páginas de la historia. Sobre estos inventos hablaremos hoy
