Expanding a neutrino hunt in the South Pole

An absolutely amazing detector built into the permanent ice of the Antarctica!

"One of the main aims of IceCube, which is run by an international group of more than 300 scientists from 12 different countries, is to identify cosmic neutrinos. "

New disoveries are very rare and very few, but very exciting:
"IceCube had its first major breakthrough in 2013 when it identified two ultra-high energy neutrinos from outside the solar system.  ...
Four years later, IceCube physicists made a detection of an extraterrestrial neutrino ... scientists to pinpoint the particle’s birthplace: an extremely luminous galaxy called a blazar. A blazar acts like a cosmic accelerator, spitting out a constant stream of particles from its core."
