Mysterious infrared light that fills the Universe found with ALMA
... their nature is still unknown. Along with the well known Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), two other forms of radiation, the Cosmic Optical Background (COB) and the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) are types of emission that are ubiquitous in the...

New research questions the rate at which the Universe is expanding
... Universe. “All of these tests are indirect, carried out in the framework of an assumed model, and the cosmic microwave background is not directly affected by dark energy. Actually, there is indeed a subtle effect, the late-integrated Sachs-Wolfe...

Arecibo - an astounding legacy
... of cold galactic electrons, which may even affect our ability to interpret the cosmic microwave background. Arecibo also discovered two pulsars that undergo a ‘cosmic vanishing act’, sometimes ‘on’ and then ‘gone’ for very long periods of time...

Have astronomers found the missing mass in the Universe?
..., neutrons and electrons. But, after calculating the density and composition of the Universe from measurements of the cosmic microwave background and from nuclear reactions following the Big Bang, it was found that a vast proportion of this material...

Life in the universe – common or not?
..., nearby galaxies, distant galaxies, filaments of early matter, and the cosmic microwave background. We may be the only life in the ‘observable universe’ but cosmic inflation has shown that abiogenesis is naturally expected in the ‘whole universe...

New physics needed to explain early expansion of the Universe
...the way it does as we see it today. This includes elements such as the existence and structure of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and how galaxies have assembled themselves into massive superclusters which seem to follow a hierarchy arrangement...
