IceCube Neutrino Observatory

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a large, underground telescope located at the South Pole that detects neutrinos, tiny, nearly massless particles that originate from cosmic phenomena. By using a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice, it captures the faint flashes of light produced when neutrinos interact with the ice. Scientists use this information to study high-energy events in the universe, such as exploding stars and black holes. IceCube helps us understand fundamental questions about the universe, fundamental forces, and the nature of dark matter, contributing valuable insights to the field of astrophysics.
