The IceCube project at th e South Pole has melted eighty-six holes over 1.5 miles deep in the Antarc tic icecap for use as astronomical observatories. The project recently dis covered a flux of neutrinos reaching us from the cosmos\, with energies mo re than a million times those of the neutrinos produced at accelerator lab oratories. These neutrinos are astronomical messengers from some of the mo st violent processes in the universe--giant black holes gobbling up stars in the heart of quasars and gamma-ray bursts\, the biggest explosions sinc e the Big Bang.
\n\nIn a special public lecture\, brought to you by the departments of physics\, astronomy\, and NRAO Francis Halzen\, Gregory Breit Professor and Hilldale Professor of Physics at UW-Madison and the p rincipal investigator of IceCube\, will tell the story of the IceCube tele scope and discuss highlights from recent scientific results.
