  Baltimore MD (SPX) Jun 12, 2025 For the first time, scientists have used Earth-based telescopes to look back over 13 billion years to see how the first stars in the universe affect light emitted from the Big Bang. Using telescopes high in the Andes mountains of northern Chile, astrophysicists have measured this polarized microwave light to create a clearer picture of one of the least understood epochs in the history of the universe, the Cosmic Dawn. "People thought this couldn't be done from the ground. Astronomy is a tech ... read more |
