The very high energy neutrinos are still to be seen, but this branch of neutrino astronomy is just in its infancy.
Art then became fascinated with the possibility of using a giant underwater detector to begin studying neutrino astronomy.
The achievement marked the debut of neutrino astronomy.
Usually observational astronomy is considered to occur on Earth's surface (or beneath it in neutrino astronomy).
This was hailed by a number of scientists as the birth of neutrino astronomy, but I think that is wrong.
As soon as neutrinos from the Sun were detected, that was the beginning of neutrino astronomy.
And even the Sun represented only the beginning of observational neutrino astronomy.
This discovery helped to inaugurate the field of neutrino astronomy.
But in 1987, neutrino astronomy received an unexpected impetus.
This was the first time neutrinos emitted from a supernova had been observed directly, which marked the beginning of neutrino astronomy.
