Other large facilities use new ways of gathering information; examples are a new facility designed to measure gravity waves generated by such cosmic events as star collisions and supernovae and a proposed facility that would detect high-energy neutrinos in a large volume of Antarctic ice to provide information about the astrophysical sources of extremely high-energy cosmic rays. Some large facilities primarily serve specific scientific disciplines, such as optical telescopes and radiotelescopes for astronomy and observatory networks for oceanography.
