This website was created as a web project for Physics 391: Radiation Detection and Measurement, at the University of Prince Edward Island Physics Department.

         Special thanks to Dr. D. W. Lawther of the UPEI Physics Department for help with the site, to NASA's Imagine the Universe team, and The Super-Kamiokande Facility and all others who provided pictures..

         The following sources were used to research the material for this site and to provide the pictures used:
