SUMMARY:IceCube detection of neutrinos from a galaxy near\, near by\, 
 Outreach\, Justin Vandenbroucke\, UW–Madison Physics / WIPAC
DESCRIPTION:The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a detector monitoring 
 a billion tons of ice at the South Pole for energetic signals from acr
 oss the cosmos. Led by the University of Wisconsin – Madison\, it de
 tects neutrinos\, which are nearly massless subatomic particles that c
 an travel large distances straight through matter. Because of this\, n
 eutrinos serve as super X-rays\, carrying new information that is comp
 lementary to astronomy done with any type of photons or electromagneti
 c waves. IceCube has previously detected neutrinos from distant galaxi
 es powered by giant black holes. We have now detected neutrinos from o
 ur own Galaxy\, the Milky Way. I will describe how IceCube works and w
 hat it has unveiled so far about both the distant Universe and our own
  cosmic neighborhood.
