The first full week of the year was a busy one! So much going on… The IceCube detector was well behaved, but there were still several maintenance items to take care of. One of the maintenance tasks involved the IceACT camera on the roof of the ICL, and while they were working, they discovered one […]
The 2021 Bruno Rossi Prize was awarded to Francis Halzen and the IceCube Collaboration “for the discovery of a high-energy neutrino flux of astrophysical origin.” The Bruno Rossi Prize is awarded annually by the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society. The 2021 HEAD awards were announced last night at the 237th AAS Meeting, which is being […]
This album contains images and videos of the first high-energy neutrino flux ever observed. Flavors, directions, and energies of these neutrinos have been found to be incompatible with those expected from the atmospheric muon and neutrino backgrounds and consistent with generic predictions for an additional component of extraterrestrial origin.

A compilation of some cool and unique neutrino events captured by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. […]
After years of drilling holes and deploying DOMs, the IceCube detector was finished on December 18, 2010. See the process here. […]
See the IceCube detector, string configuration by season, the anatomy of a digital optical module (DOM), and a list of all of the DOMs’ names. […]
IceCube has roots in Antarctica dating back to the early 1990s. This album shows the progression of the project from AMANDA to completion of IceCube construction, with a few milestones in between. […]
