The spiral galaxy NGC 1068, also known as the squid galaxy, is a bustling 'Disneyland' of neutrino production, researchers said.
A nearby spiral galaxy is pumping out ghostly neutrinos — mysterious particles that barely interact with the matter around them, scientists have found.
"That's what makes the paper exciting," he said of the new research, published Nov. 4 in the journal Science."Not just to find another source, but it begins to point at what may be the accelerator of cosmic rays and the sources of the neutrinos." Neutrinos travel in a straight line, so it's also possible to use IceCube to discover where the neutrinos came from. In the new study, Halzen and his team did a scan of the entire sky, looking for"hotspots" from which higher-than-usual concentrations of neutrinos seemed to emanate.
