28 neutrinos spotted!

Summary: Scientists working on the IceCube experiment have successfully identified 28 neutrinos of, what looks to be, cosmic origin. These have energies far greater than is possible at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
As predicted in the 1950s when neutrinos were first discovered, this could lead to a new way of studying the night sky using particles rather than wavelengths.
