Ghostly Neutrinos Illuminate the Milky Way's Bubbles ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Fermi bubbles detected in $$\sim$$100 TeV neutrinos"
For the first time, the IceCube detector buried in Antarctic ice has caught neutrinos from the giant bubbles blown by the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Giant bubbles expanding from the center of the Milky Way turn out to be natural particle accelerators. The IceCube detector, buried in Antarctic ice, caught neutrinos — 'ghostly' particles born in the shock waves of these structures. This confirms that the black hole at the Galaxy's core once set off a titanic explosion.
🎯 Neutrinos are so elusive that billions of them stream through your body every second, yet only a few will ever interact with you in your lifetime.
🎬 Neutrinos in Arthur C. Clarke's novel '2010: Odyssey Two' foreshadowed a catastrophe on Jupiter, while the real particles told us about an explosion in the heart of the Milky Way.
