Original Note:
Recommissioning LHC is a months-long process unrelated to the eclipse. 2024's recommissioning began months before April 8. Stable beams were achieved days before April 8. LHC is unaffected by the eclipse, except for tidal changes in gravity due to the phases of the moon. https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/large-hadron-collider-restarts https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/cerns-accelerators-gear-action-after-winter-maintenance-break https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/apr/05/facebook-posts/is-cern-activating-the-worlds-most-powerful-partic/
