The Telescope in the Ice is, ultimately, a book about people and the thrill of the chase: the struggle to understand the neutrino and the pioneers and inventors of neutrino astronomy. Neutrino physics is perhaps the most active field in particle physics today, and IceCube is at the forefront. And since the neutrino is one of the strangest and least understood of the known elementary particles, this is fertile ground.

Its scientific goals span not only astrophysics and cosmology but also pure particle physics. IceCube is alsothe largest particle physics detector ever built. Those elements include the five thin layers of the tennis-court-size. In 2010, it detected the first extraterrestrial high-energy neutrinos and thus gave birth to a new field of astronomy. The unfolding of the primary mirror follows the setup of other elements of the 10 billion telescope, which launched Dec. The Telescope in the Ice by Mark Bowen, Nov 14, 2017, St. It employs a cubic kilometer of diamond-clear ice, more than a mile beneath the surface, to detect an elementary particle known as the neutrino. Amundsen-Scott Research Station at the geographic South Pole, IceCube is unlike most telescopes in that it is not designed to detect light.
