Have you ever wondered what the Milky Way or anywhere up in Outer Space looks like? Now, the Milky Way has been painted in a whole new light.

The new view comes from ghost particles. They have little mass, zero electric charge, and are subatomic particles. Even though nobody had any idea where they came from, scientists now have a guess as to where they may be from. They made a new image of the milky way and it was revealed on June 30th.

These new energy particles have many sources they came from. They could be past supernova explosion remains, from the milky way, or from black holes.

Kate Scholberg, a physicist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. says, “There’s so much more to learn,” and “It can be tremendously fun to figure out how to see the universe with neutrino eyes.”

Neutrinos are super hard to detect with the human eye and even with a telescope. A new invention scientists found really helpful to detect neutrinos was a neutrino detector in Antarctica.

While people keep exploring space, they will also find more information on neutrinos and make new discoveries and have more knowledge about what’s out there.
