The brief
Researchers have detected ghost particles created by supernova explosions. According to Big Think, 99% of the energy from a core-collapse supernova remains invisible.
Coverage from Universe Space Tech, Universe Today, and MSN emphasizes the ability to listen to the universe's faintest whispers, effectively capturing data from a billion supernovae at once. Future focus remains on the study of these neutrino whispers and the invisible energy associated with core-collapse events.
