The 1600th detector placed

The last regular particle detector at the Pierre Auger Observatory has been placed in the field, carrying signatures from all participating physicists. Researchers from the Cosmic Sensation Crew have also signed this last tank. Now, after many years of construction, the Pierre Auger Observatory is complete. This is a huge milestone for the detection of cosmic rays. In the following years, a lot of data will be taken to investigate the universe.
