High-Energy Neutrino Astronomy

High-Energy Neutrino Astronomy is a branch of astrophysics that studies neutrinos—extremely light, neutral particles that can travel vast distances without being absorbed. These neutrinos are produced in powerful cosmic events, like supernovae or black hole collisions. By detecting high-energy neutrinos on Earth, scientists gain insights into these extreme phenomena and the mechanisms driving the universe's most energetic processes. This field complements traditional astronomy by revealing hidden aspects of astronomical events, helping us understand the origins of cosmic rays, and providing clues about the fundamental nature of the universe.
