28 astrophysical neutrino events were published in 2013, heralding the beginning of the exploration of the universe with neutrino telescopes. (Fun fact: The events were all named after characters from the Muppets!)

In 2001, AMANDA's initial results were published, including a map showing the origins of 263 high-energy neutrinos in the sky. It was βa proof of concept showing that we can build a neutrino telescope in ice.β

In November of 1999, IceCube got one step closer to reality as the fledgling IceCube Collaboration submitted their proposal to @NSF. (Meanwhile, the future IceCube Laboratory was still a dorm at the South Pole!)

Over 60 years ago, a physicist named Moisey Markov proposed an idea to detect neutrinos using sensors installed underwaterβthe idea that would eventually lead to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
