HONG KONG: A team of scientific researchers gathered at the South Pole made a lot of very interesting discoveries recently while at the IceCube Observatory. Firstly, using a cubic-kilometer particle detector embedded in Antarctic ice, scientists have confirmed a 2013 sighting of cosmic neutrinos. These ultra high-energy particles are believed to have traveled through space completely untouched by stars, planets, galaxies, magnetic fields or clouds of interstellar dust, before their detection by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The telescope itself did not actually detect the neutrinos, rather, It detected secondary particles – called muons.
Between May 2010 and May 2012, the IceCube Observatory recorded over 35,000 neutrinos, however, only about 20 of those neutrino events were recorded at energy levels indicative of astrophysical or cosmic sources. The researchers have not yet been able to pinpoint the sources of the neutrinos.
