- Data collected by an observatory in Antarctica has produced our first view of the Milky Way galaxy through the lens of neutrino particles.
- It’s the first time we have seen our galaxy “painted” with a particle, rather than in different wavelengths of light.
- The Ice Cube Neutrino Observatory uses a gigatonne of the ultra-transparent ice under huge pressures to detect a form of energy called Cherenkov radiation.
- Its result in roughly spherical showers of light and give the researchers a better level of sensitivity to the astrophysical neutrinos from the Milky Way.
