This initiative is in turn driven by my frustration with the status quo, namely the notion of dark matter’s existence despite ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the faint afterglow of the Big Bang that still bathes the sky in microwave light. For decades, scientists have combed this signal for tiny twists called ...

The standard model of cosmology relies on an accurate reading of the cosmic microwave background. This radiation, emitted 380,000 years after the Big Bang, is considered proof of the theory's validity ...

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 ...

A never-before-seen image of the cosmic microwave background, combining data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Planck satellite, offers a high-definition view of the early Universe.

Viewing the universe with greater clarity The newly released images capture the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the faint radiation left over from the Big Bang. While the Planck space telescope ...

An international research group has created the most detailed and accurate image of the earliest epoch of the universe that we can see to date. The data on the cosmic microwave background ...

An image of the CMB radiation from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope; orange and blue represent more or less intense radiation. Image credit: ACT Collaboration. The new ACT pictures of the so-called ...

The image shows the cosmic microwave background radiation visible 380,000 years after the Big Bang. ACT Collaboration; ESA/Planck Collaboration "Before, we got to see where things were, and now we ...

New research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has produced the clearest images yet of the universe's infancy—the earliest cosmic time yet accessible to humans. Measuring ...
