"Deep beneath the ice of Antarctica, the world’s strangest observatory has finally reached completion.


"The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a gigantic telescope at the South Pole that is designed to detect elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos that travel through Earth at the speed of light.


"Construction of the telescope ended last weekend although it has already been collecting data for several years.


"Very little is known about neutrinos, but they are believed to carry information about the birth of our galaxy and the mystery of black holes."
