"Far-Out Neutrinos: a New Kind of Astronomy"

Neutrino telescopes, proposed and under construction, should map out the 
neutrino sky, analogous to the way the electromagnetic sky has been 
mapped for centuries.  Like light and unlike cosmic-rays, the neutrinos 
will point back to their sources.  But unlike light, the neutrinos are 
not attenuated at high energies and so will allow us to see farther into 
space and time, and deeper into sources.  In this colloquium we 
illustrate with specific examples the promise which neutrino astronomy 
at energies at and above 100 TeV holds to study astrophysics, particle 
physics, and maybe even cosmology.
