The resemblance is striking when viewed through cosmic maps. The structure was found as part of the CLASSIX Cluster Survey ...

The South Pole Telescope has released its most precise image yet of the universe’s first light—the cosmic microwave background. This new ground-based data confirms cosmic expansion anomalies and ...

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 ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the oldest light in the Universe, emitted approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang. It is microwave radiation that uniformly fills space, a witness to ...

This is why the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) is by far the oldest signal that we can detect in the universe. Until now, the radiation has mainly been measured by the ESA Planck space telescope.

They have accomplished this, not in a laboratory, but in space, using a catalog of over half a billion galaxies imaged by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, which flew from 2010 to ...

The map, which covers a quarter of the sky over Earth and extends deep into the cosmos, was created using a "cosmic fossil" known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), radiation left over from ...

Scientists have created a new map of the dark matter in the universe. Using radiation left over from the Big Bang, researchers mapped the gravitational effects of the mysterious substance.
