IceCube search for hidden galactic core-collapse supernovae
By Alisa King-Klemperer | | Research |
When a star dies, it succumbs to gravitational forces, collapsing into a tiny star made of densely packed neutrons or even forming a black hole that swallows everything up. As matter continues to fall into the star’s core, matter bouncing back triggers what are called core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe).  Shortly after [...]

Week 36 at the Pole
By Jean DeMerit | | Life at the Pole |
Even without the stars and auroras, the sky at the South Pole can still steal the show. As the sky brightens ever so slowly during sunrise, the horizon takes on a colorful glow. Above, we have the IceCube Lab (ICL) shown in shadow with a backdrop of orange light stretching [...]
