Neutrinos are tiny elementary (subatomic) particles that are abundant in our universe.
They are formed through the actions of the weak nuclear force, which governs radioactive decay.
But every now and then they might bump into something, a charged particle, such as an electron, may be created out of nowhere.
This event, called the Cherenkov effect, also happens in nuclear reactor containment pools.
We don't know exactly where it comes from, but we've identified 12 potential blazars that may have produced it.
It is also possible that it was created through the interaction of cosmic rays with photons from the cosmic energy background.
This detection provides a window into the ultra-high-energy phenomena happening in the universe.
