Abstract
There are at least three arguments why we need a new type of astronomy — high energy neutrino astronomy. Low energy (MeV) neutrino astronomy exists. It detected the neutrinos from SN 1987a and continuously monitors the emission of solar neutrinos in different energy ranges. Davis and Koshiba received the 2002 Nobel prize in physics for these observations.
