Description
In the past decade, neutrino astronomy went from dream to reality with the IceCube collaboration producing observations of the very first neutrino sources in the sky and the Galactic Plane, making it the first non-electromagnetic view of our own galaxy. Fundamentally, all neutrino astronomy telescopes are particle physics detectors, and observations are only possible by teasing out an astronomical signal hidden in dominating background rates that are many orders of magnitude higher. The successes of neutrino astronomy in the past decade opened a new field, and the current state of neutrino astronomy is evolving. With more future neutrino telescopes planned, the field is poised to make more discoveries.
