Troels Petersen, a new type of telescope
Science Journalist Jens Degett is interviewing senior researcher Troels Petersen from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen about the new type of telescope and what it can measure.
You may have heard about about space telescopes and gravitational wave detectors which are new instruments for the investigation of space and the universe. Now a new instrument is being tested underneath the South Pole.
It literally consists of a cubic kilometer large ice cube with detectors that can catch small light emissions from a long distance.
The instrument is giving us a new look at the universe very different from the electromagnetic light we can see in a traditional telescope.
