Large Hadron Collider under construction. Engineers assembling a section of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. The LHC is a 27-kilometre long high-energy particle accelerator. It has been designed to probe the inner structure of matter, in order to explain the origins of matter, dark matter and the mysteries of the early universe. Photographed in December 2008.
