    Summary:
    Deep beneath southern China, JUNO has launched one of the most ambitious neutrino experiments in history.
    With its massive 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector now operational,
    itrCOs poised to answer one of particle physicsrCO greatest mysteries: the true ordering of neutrino masses.
    Built over more than a decade and involving hundreds of scientists worldwide,
    JUNO not only promises to resolve questions about the building blocks of matter but also to open entirely
    new frontiersrCofrom exploring signals of supernovae to hunting for evidence of exotic physics.
