UMD-led CRESST II signs $178M cooperative agreement with NASA

 E-Mail The Center for Research and Exploration in Space Science & Technology II (CRESST II), a partnership between NASA s Goddard Space Flight Center and four universities led by researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park s (UMD) Department of Astronomy has received an extension of its cooperative agreement through March 2027 and been funded in the amount of $178 million. The extension will enable the center to continue current collaborations and expand on the partnership s success. CRESST was created in 2006 with a 10-year cooperative agreement, and CRESST II began in 2017 with a five-year cooperative agreement of $87.5 million. CRESST II s goal was to continue to facilitate collaborations between researchers at NASA s Goddard Space Flight Center and space scientists from CRESST II partner institutions. Led by UMD, CRESST II partner institutions include the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC); the Catholic University of America, Howard University and th

Antarctica Alert --Ghostly Supermassive Black Hole Invader

  On Sept. 22, 2017, a ghostly particle ejected from a far distant supermassive black hole zipped down from the sky and through the ice of Antarctica at just below the speed of light, with an energy of some 300 trillion electron volts, nearly 50 times the energy delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the biggest particle accelerator on Earth.  IceCube Neutrino Observatory The cosmic invader –a messenger from the depths of extragalactic space, carrying secrets from some of the most extreme physics in the universe– triggered a cacophony of code-red detectors in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (image below) located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, perhaps solving one of the enduring mysteries of physics and the cosmos.
