Neutrinos...caught in an incredibly creative way.
Remember neutrinos? They make up the remainder of particles emitting from stars which are not electromagnetic wave types, basically. They pass right through us and the Earth...kind of weird. They don't interact with other particles much, so it's really hard to detect them.
Until now. It's still hard, but scientists in Antarctica have caught a few.

Have a great weekend. Don't forget the quiz on Tuesday- asteroids, comets, meteors (-oids, -ites, too) and the Moon!
Look for ISON in the Eastern Sky before sunrise (about 1/2 hour).
