Eleven billion years ago, during the universe's most fertile era of star formation, a dust-shrouded galaxy was forging hundreds of new suns each year in a dense, gas-choked core — and in doing so, may have been quietly manufacturing some of the most energetic particles in existence. In September 2021, one such particle, a neutrino carrying 750 teraelectronvolts of energy, arrived at a detector buried in Antarctic ice and pointed astronomers back toward its origin. Using gravitational lensing as a natural telescope and ALMA's submillimeter vision, researchers have now identified that distant st
