  London, UK (SPX) Oct 17, 2018 The Moon may be the key to unlocking how the first stars and galaxies shaped the early Universe. A team of astronomers led by Dr. Benjamin McKinley observed the Moon with a radio telescope to help search for the faint signal from hydrogen atoms, in research published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. "Before there were stars and galaxies, the universe was pretty much just hydrogen, floating around in space," said Dr. McKinley, an astronomer at Curtin University - no ... read more |
