IceCubeAR, aka IceBear, is a new augmented reality (AR) app that allows anyone in the world can see what’s happening under the South Pole ice in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory—using their smartphone! […]
The sun is up but still low on the horizon, casting long shadows, as seen here peeking through the exhaust plumes from the power plant. […]
As the long winter comes to an end with the sunrise at the South Pole, the winterovers embark on spring cleaning around the station. […]
Today marked the end of the 2020 Fall IceCube Collaboration Meeting, the second collaboration meeting held virtually due to the pandemic. Despite its drawbacks, the virtual meeting format has proven beneficial in some respects. This collaboration meeting had 312 registrants, possibly the most of any IceCube Collaboration meeting ever. […]
Last week was somewhat busy for the IceCube detector. Otherwise, the sun continues its slow rise, leaving things outside appearing blue and frosty. […]
What did we just say about the dawn sky at the South Pole? That it can present quite a colorful display, as evidenced by this week’s outdoor photos. […]
While a blue sky may seem boring to some, especially after the many displays of auroras throughout the winter, the long twilight actually provides plenty of dawn colors to enjoy while outdoors. […]
You never know which aurora images from the Pole will be the last of the season. But if it’s this week’s images, then this year’s aurora season is clearly going out with a bang. […]
In a paper submitted today to The Astrophysical Journal, the AMON team, together with the IceCube and HAWC collaborations, present the analysis approach that they developed and reveal the first results from their analysis, as applied to three years of archival data from 2015 to 2018. During those three years, they identified two coincident events that met their criteria for distribution as a public alert, but there were no particularly important astronomical sources seen near either position. […]
Look who’s at the South Pole. Okay, we can’t see their faces in this image, but we trust that those are IceCube’s winterovers. […]
