Cosmic Ray Detector in the Adafruit Google+ Community (video)

Earlier this week, a curious video was shared in the Adafruit Google+ Community by Robert Hart featuring an intriguing flicker of lights. Following Robert’s link, it was an 81 Pixel Hodoscope, an instrument for detecting cosmic rays (muons)!

Here’s a video (on YouTube, on Vimeo) discovering Robert’s project at the Adafruit Google+ Community (over 30,000 members!) — all filled with exciting projects appearing there every single day. We’re looking forward to seeing what’s next, join up now!

Music by Adafruit’s very own Tom (Bartlebeats).
