The eight torodial magnets can be seen on the huge ATLAS detector with the calorimeter before it is moved into the middle of the detector. This calorimeter will measure the energies of particles produced when protons collide in the center of the detector.

Will it work or blow up the Earth?  We will soon find out!

Lets hope for the best!
