Question 7 What type of mission collects information about multiple planets? Sample returns. Rovers. Flybys. Atmospheric probes. Question 8 Why are neutrinos so difficult to detect? There are very few of them, so collecting enough to study takes a long time. They are theoretical and may not exist. They move so fast they pass right through the telescope. They don't interact strongly with matter, so they will not cause a reaction on a CCD imager.
