Scientists May Have Detected Neutrinos From Another Galaxy

The Bad Astronomer writes "A experiment called IceCube ? consisting of sensitive light detectors buried deep in the Antarctic ice ? has detected two ultra-high-energy neutrinos, each with over a peta-electronVolt of energy (a quadrillion times the energy of a visible light photon), the highest energy neutrinos ever seen. The two events, nicknamed Bert and Ernie, have a 99% chance of originating outside our galaxy, likely created either by a supermassive black hole or an exploding gamma-ray burst."
