news APOD 19659002 Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the universe! Every day a various image or photo of our interesting universe is included, together with a short description composed by an expert astronomer. 19659005 Description: Researchers are melting holes in the bottom of the world. Nearly 100 holes melted near the South Pole are now being utilized as a huge observatory. Astronomers with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory decreased a long string knotted with basketball-sized light detectors into each vertical lake. The water in each hole quickly refreezes. The detectors connected to the strings are delicate to blue light released in the surrounding clear ice. Such light arise from fast-moving secondary particles 19459036 freed when high-energy neutrinos produced by effective procedures out in deep space hit ice particles. IceCube 19459036 has actually now found numerous illuminating neutrinos. Envisioned in 2010, among the last of IceCube’s detector strings is decreased into the freezing void, making IceCube the biggest neutrino detector 19459036 ever developed. In acknowledgment of extraordinary discoveries , it was revealed previously today that a founding leader of the IceCube Collaboration will be granted the Nobel Prize in Physics 19659007 Tomorrow’s photo: 19459041 Moons Planet Date: October 11, 2026 Credit: 19659011 NSF 19459036, B.
