"This is a milestone for the budding field of
neutrino astronomy. We are opening a new window into the high-energy universe," says Marek Kowalski, the head of
Neutrino Astronomy at DESY, a research centre of the Helmholtz Association, and a researcher at the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Markus Ackermann, head of the
neutrino astronomy group at DESY in Zeuthen near Berlin, said that the neutrinos that have been detected by IceCube have energies that are millions of times higher than those coming from supernova 1987A.
Neutrino Astronomy and intersections between Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics by Dr Zeblon Vilakazi (iThemba Labs)
Prof Leatherbarrow then introduced the second speaker of the evening, Dr Matthew Malek from Imperial College London, whose talk was titled '
Neutrino Astronomy: seeing the cosmos in a v light'.
Neutrinos from Hell "
Neutrino astronomy, for decades the sole concern of theorists, became a genuine observational science early on February 23rd.
Fifty-two presentations are presented within sections covering the opening remarks of the workshop, cosmology, astrophysics of high-energy cosmic sources, jet sources and gamma-ray bursts, quantum gravity phenomenology, the challenge of cosmic ray production,
neutrino astronomy, direction for next-generation experiments, and concluding remarks.
Appealing chapters comment on distances through space, the shape of the Milky Way, asteroids and sunspots, quasars,
neutrino astronomy, and the expanding universe.
Neutrino astronomy is a closely related area that may benefit from the newly measured effect.
"The era of
neutrino astronomy has begun," Sullivan said as the IceCube Collaboration announced the observation of 28 very high-energy particle events that constitute the first solid evidence for astrophysical neutrinos from cosmic sources.
