Measuring light that has travelled for almost 14 billion years to reach a telescope high in the Chilean Andes, the two new ...

Cosmic microwave background data support cosmology’s standard model but retain a mystery about the universe’s expansion rate.

New observations with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile reveal the earliest-ever "baby pictures" of our universe, showing some of the oldest light we can possibly see.

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. The researchers ...

Sometimes, a picture can be worth much more than a thousand words. For instance, one measure associated with the pictures below—new high-definition snapshots of the cosmos in its infancy—is ...

Data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has now given researchers new detailed images of the universe's earliest ...

Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has led to the clearest and most precise images yet of the universe's infancy, the cosmic microwave background radiation that was visible ...

Here’s how it works. New images of the infant universe captured by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) are the most precise "baby pictures" to date of the cosmos' "first steps" toward forming ...

Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope collaboration has led to the clearest and most precise images yet of the universe’s infancy, the cosmic microwave background radiation that was ...

Research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has led to the clearest mages yet of the universe’s infancy. On the left is part of a new half-sky image in which three wavelengths of ...

The images released Tuesday show the oldest light ... Sehgal said. The Atacama Cosmology Telescope had "five times the resolution ... and greater sensitivity" than other telescopes that viewed ...

The images received from this telescope are known as the cosmic microwave background, and they provide an exceptionally clear picture of the universe at about 380,000 years old.
