A red building against a night sky filled with green auroras.

An otherworldly view of the IceCube Laboratory at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. The IceCube neutrino detector is the largest in the world, with thousands of digital optical modules frozen into a cubic kilometer of ice.

The red color is reflection from exterior red lighting used during winter darkness as red does not interfere with the auroral observations conducted by other researchers.
