Mainz-based scientists have been members of the IceCube consortium since 1999. A member of the IceCube team outside the research station in the Antarctic winter. A LiDAR laser beam being used to measure the atmosphere can be seen emanating from the station. In the background are the aurora australis and the star-studded sky. For the first time, an international team of scientists found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from NGC 1068, also known as Messier 77, an active galaxy in the constellation of Cetus and one of the most familiar and well-studied galaxies to date. First spotted in 1780, this galaxy, located 47 million light-years away from us, can be observed with large binoculars. The results have now been published in Science .
