National Geographic, March 1978

“Scenes from a microworld: The eye can’t see protons, electrons, and other subatomic particles, but a camera records their frothy wakes in a chamber of liquefied neon and hydrogen at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. Technician Karen Carew points to a straight line, possibly the track of a pion dislodged from its spot in a neon atom’s nucleus by a neutrino traveling at the speed of light.”


i don't know what it means but it looks amazing

That's where the Strokes' first album cover art is from!
