Full-Sky Map Of Cosmic Background Radiation, A Full-Sky Map Produced By The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (Wmap) Showing Cosmic Background Radiation, A Very Uniform Glow Of Microwaves Emitted ...

Researchers used the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to create this new map of the dark matter. The orange regions show where there is more mass; purple where there is less or none. The typical features ...

With unique capabilities to track microwave energy fluctuations, a small observatory in the Andes mountains of northern Chile produced maps of 75% of the sky as part of an effort to more accurately ...

The most detailed snapshots so far of the infant universe are confirming that the cosmos consists mostly of mystery material, called dark energy, that accelerates the universe’s expansion. The new ...

Born in Vichy in 1969, I grew up during the Apollo era, inspired by space exploration, nuclear energy, and major scientific discoveries. Early on, I developed a passion for quantum physics, relativity ...

Discover why astronomy and cosmology are the universe's mapmakers. Discover how scientists trace galaxies, the cosmic web, and the large-scale architecture of our entire existence in three dimensions ...

Findings from a new study into the cosmic "afterglow" may rewrite the history of the universe, according to researchers. This afterglow—the "cosmic microwave background" (CMB), the relic radiation ...

The "afterglow" of the universe is an important piece of evidence for the Big Bang. This background radiation also provides important answers to the question of how the first galaxies were able to ...

Astrophysicists from the Universities of Oxford and Rome have for the first time found evidence of ripples in the Universe’s primordial sea of neutrinos, confirming the predictions of both Big Bang ...
