First neutrino image of an active galaxy

For over ten years the IceCube Observatory in the Antarctic has been monitoring the light traces of extragalactic neutrinos. While evaluating the observatory's data, an international research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) discovered a high-energy neutrino radiation source in the active galaxy NGC 1068, also known as Messier 77.

That’s interesting, though I have some questions concerning their interpretation of making neutrinos in the magic “corona”. NGC1068 does have a jet after all …
