One of the Holy Grails in cosmology is a look back at the earliest epochs of cosmic history. Unfortunately, the universe's ...

A telescope in Chile has spent years working on by far the most precise map of the earliest visible universe. It now reveals a lot about the cosmos.

The clearest and most precise images yet of the universe’s infancy from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope show the first steps toward the first stars and galaxies.

Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has led to the clearest and most precise images yet of the universe ...

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 light ...

A microwave telescope can see this ancient ... The data it gathered were just as surprising as the original signal. They showed that the early universe wasn’t entirely uniform after all.

Before it shut down, a telescope in Chile captured the universe's baby photos, just 380,000 years after the Big Bang. These ...

To capture an image of that extraordinarily faint signal ... universe has three major components: matter, dark matter, and dark energy. This explains the existence and pattern of the cosmic ...

dark and the polarization of light—background radiation known as the cosmic microwave background, and details the movement of hydrogen and helium gas at the beginning of the universe.

A new map of cosmic expansion suggests that dark energy evolves over time, hinting that the universe doesn’t work the way we ...
