Duration: 13:45
In this episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of multi-messenger astronomy. We explore how scientists are using a global network of specialized telescopes to solve one of the greatest mysteries in physics: the origin of high-energy cosmic rays. By tracking "ghost particles" called neutrinos from the depths of the South Pole to the highest mountain peaks where gamma-ray telescopes wait, researchers are building a new map of the most violent processes in our universe.
