  • NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day describes IceCube as using light detectors embedded in refrozen holes near the South Pole.
  • The image was taken in 2010, according to NASA’s caption.
Why it matters

The NASA feature explains how IceCube detects light from particles produced when high-energy neutrinos interact with ice.

A little more context

NASA’s October 11 Astronomy Picture of the Day features a 2010 image of a detector string being lowered into Antarctic ice. The agency says nearly 100 holes near the South Pole hold strings of light detectors, which register blue light from secondary particles created when high-energy neutrinos collide with ice molecules. NASA’s caption also says a founding leader of the IceCube Collaboration was announced earlier that week as a Nobel Prize in Physics laureate; it does not name the person.

Webb image shows distant galaxies magnified by gravitational lensing

NASA says the orange galaxies appear distorted and magnified by the mass of the foreground cluster MACS J0454.1-0300.

NASARead briefClose brief
  • NASA released the James Webb Space Telescope image on Sept. 29, 2026.
  • The agency says the orange galaxies lie much farther away than the cluster and are not members of it.
Why it matters

The image illustrates how a galaxy cluster can bend and magnify light from more distant objects.
