If today's Universe were an adult human, at 380,000 years old it would be only a few hours old.
The amazing story of how the Cosmic Microwave Background was discovered completely by accident by American scientists.
The Dark Energy Survey has delivered its first results providing one of the most detailed pictures of the Universe ever created.
The European Space Agency's Planck satellite has revealed some information which may force us to rethink the evolution of the early Universe.
It is currently believed that we live in a lopsided Universe: cosmologists reached this conclusion by examining the detailed structure of the left over radiation from the Big Bang. Now, two cosmologists presented data which seems to suggest that our Universe is actually curved slightly, in a saddle-like fashion; if correct, their model would invalidate […]
Physicists have successfully reproduced a pattern resembling the cosmic microwave background radiation in an experiment which used ultracold cesium atoms in a vacuum chamber. This is the first experiment which recreates at least some of the conditions from the Big Bang. “This is the first time an experiment like this has simulated the evolution of […]
Using the incredible Planck cosmology probe astronomers at the European Space Agency have assembled a map of the “oldest light” in the sky – the cosmic microwave background (CMB) that was thrown into space in all directions just a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang and which is still picked up here on Earth today.
