[quote:Digital mix guy:MV8xOTczODIxXzMzMTQwNzA2XzY2NzAwM0M2] Some 3,300 astronomers had registered for the conference, and most of us were in our seats when IAU president Robert Williams walked onstage with Vice President Xi. Xi’s speech focused on international collaboration, which will be essential for several big projects on China’s horizons: plans call for completion of an enormous radio telescope 500 m (1,640 feet) across in 2016, work is being planned on a new telescope on Dome A (Antarctica’s highest ice feature), and several space missions are in the works. The conference newspaper, Inquiries of Heaven (named after an ancient book of Chinese poetry written thousands of years ago), carries the full translation of Xi’s speech. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/Opening-Ceremony-of-Astronomy-Olympics-167027425.html [/quote]
Original Message
Two super-high-energy particles have been detected by IceCube, the massive neutrino telescope buried in Antarctic ice. These two neutrinos, one seen in August 2011 and the other in January 2012, have enough energy to be from an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray source, such as a gamma-ray burst. “They are at least 10 times the energy of any neutrino we’ve seen before.” -- 28th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, Beijing
