The IceCube Neutrino Observatory consists of over 5,500 basketball-sized light detectors melted deep into the South Pole icecap. These photodetectors are sensitive to the blue light emitted in the surrounding clear ice when cosmic messengers from some of the most violent processes in the universe pass through the earth. We will discuss cosmic rays, how to detect them, and what they are telling us about our universe.

From where do these neutrinos come? The IceCube Neutrino Observatory near the South Pole of the Earth has begun to detect nearly invisible particles of very high energy. Although these rarely-interacting neutrinos pass through much of the Earth just before being detected, where they started remains a mystery. Pictured here is IceCube's Antarctic lab accompanied by a cartoon depicting long strands of detectors frozen into the crystal clear ice below. Candidate origins for these cosmic neutrinos include the violent surroundings of supermassive black holes at the centers of distant galaxies, and tremendous stellar explosions culminating in supernovas and gamma ray bursts far across the universe. As IceCube detects increasingly more high energy neutrinos, correlations with known objects may resolve this cosmic conundrum -- or we may never know. via NASA ift.tt/1KZafJn
