Original – The hull of the ATLAS particle detector. The eight toroid magnets (covered with orange stripes) can be seen surrounding the central cavity. The inner detector and calorimeters will later be moved into the middle.
Reason
The hull of the ATLAS particle detector experiment at CERN being constructed in 2005. For an overview of the project see the lead section of the article. The experiments have been ongoing since 2008. The photo highlights the eight toroid magnets wrapped with orange bands. For a physical layout of the project see the lead image in the Detector systems section and its image caption.

  • Support because of high EV. Resolution about the best available at that time. --Janke | Talk 19:45, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I'm surprised they had a digital camera with this high resolution in 2005! Person for scale adds to EV.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Interestingly, the Nikon D1X internally upsampled the image from 2.7 to 5.8 Mpix, using the 10M+ photosites on the sensor... --Janke | Talk 06:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
