Failing to see any high-energy neutrinos allowed researchers to calculate an upper limit on the fraction of high-energy cosmic rays that are protons.

The SPT winterovers recently hosted an open house and tour of the telescope. Since SPT is 1-km from station, many winterovers don't make it out often, so it's nice to have open houses to help learn about the science they are supporting! Pic by Kevin Leung @NSF @doescience

It's a couple weeks late, but South Pole recently celebrated mid-winter at the #southpole. Mid-winter is a big milestone for the winterovers, who are spending a year at the South Pole. Attached is the official mid-winter photo, and dinner announcement from this season!

A nice writeup of this unfortunate death at the South Pole 25-years ago, before SPT and before the new station.

New Zealand officials are still fighting to hide details of how a scientist was poisoned.
