International hunt detects ghostly neutrino from a galaxy far away
An international observatory traced a high-energy cosmic neutrino back to its origin about 4 billion light years away.
The IceCube Collaboration is an international team of over 450 scientists from 58 institutions in 14 countries that operates the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. Their primary mission is to detect high-energy cosmic neutrinos and use them as messengers to study the most violent astrophysical phenomena, such as exploding stars, black holes, and gamma-ray bursts, ushering in the new field of neutrino astronomy.
