migration.

how do we measure neutrinos from supernova explosions 

Neutrinos are measured by detecting their rare interactions with other matter using massive detectors that can identify the signature they leave behind, such as a flash of light or a track. These interactions are often indirect, and experiments use different materials like water, ice, or specialized fluids to look for the particles created when a neutrino hits an atom. Advanced experiments are also developing new methods, such as using cyclotron radiation from electrons produced in beta decay, to precisely measure neutrino properties like mass
