Scientists at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory have used 60,000 neutrinos to create the first map of the Milky Way made with matter and not light.

The team started making the map in 2010 and finished taking images for it in 2023. Over that 13-year span, astronomers took over 200,000 images across 420 nights to map as much of the Milky Way as ...
