General Public Show: Chasing the Ghost Particle: From the South Pole to the Edge of the Universe

Deep in the ice at the heart of Antarctica, the biggest and strangest detector in the world waits for mysterious messengers from the cosmos. The detector is IceCube! The messengers are neutrinos–ghostly particles that give us tantalizing looks into world of exploding stars and black holes. This show tells the incredible story of how an international team of scientists and engineers transformed one billion tons of Antarctic ice into a telescope. Building IceCube was a titanic endeavor driven by our human passion for discovery. Watch a trailer here. Each show will be followed by a live presentation of Tonight's Sky. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. To purchase tickets in advance visit https://www.tickets.umn.edu/UMDMWAP/Online/
