IceCube Neutrino Observatory is known very different observatories. He called neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles and the speed of light from Earth last gözlemlemekle a giant telescope at the South Pole in charge.
The telescope is collecting data for several years, though, the construction came to an end last weekend. Little is known about neutrinos, but the birth of galaxies and black holes are believed to taşıdıklarına information on the mystery. Physicists neutrinos, such as black holes, colliding galaxies, distant shores or even thinks he was born during a violent cosmic events.
Neutrinos that can travel through billions of light years through space, magnetic fields or yutuluyor by atoms or is reflected back. This mysterious energy particles, the universe could answer some of the most basic questions. But first have to find them.

This is why scientists, a neutrino collided with one of the atoms forming the shape of molecules in the ice to watch the ice using a rare condition. Giant telescope, under the South Pole Antarctic plateau, was built at a depth of up to 2 thousand 438 meters. The whole project cost $ 279 million.
For $ 242 million was awarded by the National Science Foundation. The final stage of construction, 5 thousand 160 optical sensor necessary for the final 89 holes were opened. These sensors were placed to form the main detector. Neutrino and the collision of an atom 'muon' particles known as 'radiation cerenkov called' occurs in a bright blue light.
Ultra-transparent structure of the Antarctic glacier, IceCube'ün optical sensors to detect blue light. Following the trail of the collision of subatomic particles in neutrino scientists understand the development direction and where they come from (a black hole or colliding galaxy) to allow them to detect. But this is only a complex process than to identify müonları.
Have been created by a cosmic muon neutrino, the muon detector is created on the atmosphere than a million cosmic rays. So to avoid this confusion IceCube'ün sensors, they can detect neutrinos down to the planet last positioned.
IceCube using the planet as a filter collision, only neutrinos oluyan müonları aims to distinguish. The size of the observatory, (1 kilometreküp ice) is important, because it increases the number of potential collision can be observed.
