The world’s largest telescope, the strangest observatory of the world is all set to uncover the mysteries of this universe at the South Pole. IceCube, the largest neutrino observatory of the world has started its operation this week.

This telescope worth US$279 million (NZ$375 million) is going to unearth all the mysteries of the universe buried under the thick covers of snowy South Pole.

The formula on which it will work is the capturing of the high energy particles coming from the deep sea and passing through the Antarctic icebergs and then their collision with the atomic nuclei.

If the scientists are to be believed, then all the concepts from black holes to the Big Bang will be investigated through this experiment.

With the height four times deeper than Auckland Skytower, this project is funded by the US National Science Foundation.

NSF says that the 86 holes in the deeper insides of the telescope will help in understanding that from where do the trillions of neutrinos passing through the humans at one moment come from. The deeper facts about the phenomenon like exploding stars in Milky Way and other galaxies are also to be unwrapped by this observatory.

Being applauded as a milestone achievement for the international science community and cooperation, Karl Erb, Director of NSF, says, “It is the kind of ambitious science that can only be attempted through the cooperation.”
