The finest ever map of the cosmic microwave background - the faint evidence of the universe's early form - has yielded ...
After five years of staring unblinking at the sky, the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has compiled the most detailed map ...
Effectively, the universe’s baby picture is a CMB map. For decades, satellite missions like COBE, WMAP, and Planck have ...
A telescope in Chile has spent years working on by far the most precise map of the earliest visible universe. It now reveals ...
One of the Holy Grails in cosmology is a look back at the earliest epochs of cosmic history. Unfortunately, the universe's ...
Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has led to the clearest and most precise images yet of the universe’s infancy, the cosmic microwave background radiation that was visible only ...
In this section we will learn about the CMB data from WMAP (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/) and Planck (http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Planck). The goals ...
Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the stuff at scale.
The diagram below is a heat map showing that temperature was not evenly distributed. This is a whole sky Planck space telescope image of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the relic radiation ...
