Tour CERN and the Large Hadron Collider with Google Street View
Few people without PhDs ever set foot inside CERNs (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) lab in Geneva, Switzerland, home of the Large Hadron Collider. And although we have had the opportunity to share some stunning pics of the worlds largest particle accelerator before, Google is one-upping us (go figure) by letting you take a virtual stroll with Street View.
Thats right, we can now add CERN to the ever-growing list of awesome locations that Google is lets you tour from the comfort of your favorite chair.
When we shared The Atlantics photos of the LHC, we pointed out the beauty in the machine that these photos captured. The Street View imagery is no different, except that now you can explore many more vantage points.
Acronyms like ATLAS, ALICE, CMS and LHC take on a new meaning when you get to see the massive underground machines with your own eyes.
