Milky way scientists Aurora Over South Pole Telescope Aurora australis ("southern lights") blankets the sky overhead of the 10-meter South Pole Telescope at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. The telescope collects data on cosmic microwave background radiation and black matter. Like its more familiar counterpart, the aurora borealis , or "northern lights," the aurora australis is caused by the solar wind passing through the upper atmosphere.

Universe May Be Curved, Not Flat

Universe May Be Curved, Not Flat: Scientific American September 23, 2013 By Ron Cowen&Nature magazine EVIDENCE OF A CURVE?: The temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation fluctuates more on one side of the sky (the right side of this projection) than on the opposite side, a sign that space might be curved.

David Todd Wilkinson was a world-renowned pioneer in the field of cosmology, specializing in the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) left over from the Big Bang. He was born in Hillsdale, Michigan, and earned his Ph.D. in physics at the University of Michigan under the supervision of H. Richard Crane. He was a Professor of Physics at Princeton University from 1965 until his retirement in 2002. He made fundamental contributions to many major CMB experiments, including two...

Cosmic microwave background radiation, an all-pervading radiation that emanates from the Big Bang - Science is just beginning to see the light of the universe. It is possible to observe the universe from a refinement of one's own perception, where the universe is filled with light, not dark as Science observes through their instruments...

The Cosmic Microwave Background is the remnant radiation from the early universe. It's about 2.7 degrees above absolute zero and incredibly uniform because of inflation. In a tiny fraction of a second, the universe inflated to 10^100 times its original size and then continued with its ordinary expansion as though nothing had happened.
