Image of Milky Way with Ghost Particles called Neutrinos

Image of our galaxy the Milky Way using ghost particles called neutrinos on top. Below is text saying: Behold the first ever image of the Milky Way composed of "ghostly particles" called Neutrinos. Scientists revealed this unique image of our galaxy by determining the galactic origin of thousands of neutrinos, which exist in great quantities but normally pass straight through Earth undetected - they even pass through us. The neutrino-based image of the Milky Way is the first of its kind because it is made with particles of matter rather than electromagnetic energy. Researchers used the U.S. National Science Foundation-supported IceCube Neutrino Observatory at NSF's Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica that detects the subtle signs of high-energy neutrinos from space.
