The New Map of our Galaxy Shocked Astronomers

Scientists have detected ghost particles known as neutrinos emanating from the center of our galaxy. Neutrinos, which are among the lightest elementary particles in the Standard Model of physics, have long been elusive due to their weak interactions with matter. This remarkable finding marks the first time astronomers have been able to create a new map of our galaxy, not through traditional light observations but by capturing these elusive matter particles.

As we expand our understanding of the Milky Way's portrait, from gamma rays to radio waves, this new row depicting our galaxy in neutrino light has added a previously unseen dimension to our cosmic view.

So, how did astronomers find out that these particles are really coming from the center of our galaxy? Why are neutrinos referred to as the ghost particles of nature? Finally, and most importantly, what significance does the discovery of neutrinos from the galactic center hold for astronomers?
