Planck Sees Light Billions of Years Old
Found on PhysOrg on Friday, 14 August 2009
The Planck space telescope has begun to collect light left over from the Big Bang explosion that created our universe.
If all goes as planned, these observations will be the first of 15 or more months of data gathered from two full-sky scans. Science results are expected in about three years.
13 billion years old light. That's just impressive.
