Since November of last year, a team of IceCube engineers and scientists have been hard at work during the second of three consecutive field seasons for the IceCube Upgrade. Over the course of the season, 37 team members, including 27 drill engineers and 10 installation and operations experts, were deployed [...]
Neutrinos are weakly interacting particles that are able to travel unhindered through the cosmos. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, embedded in a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice, searches for neutrinos and captures them at different energies. By measuring the entire spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos, scientists can gain insights into the origin [...]
A nice halo surrounds the lowering sun at the Pole, with some mistiness along the horizon. Sun halos, also called 22-degree halos, can appear in clear skies, too, as it’s the crystals in the high cirrus clouds that refract the light in this way. IceCube winterover Ilya captured another nice [...]
