Stony Brook scientists on team capturing 'baby pictures' of the Universe's cosmic light with advanced telescope

The article from Newsday discusses the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) project, which has recently released high-resolution images of the universe's cosmic microwave background (CMB). These images, captured from the Atacama Desert in Chile, provide insights into the universe's early conditions and its evolution. The project, involving researchers from Stony Brook University among others, has helped in mapping dark matter distribution and understanding the universe's structure. The images reveal details about the universe when it was just 380,000 years old, offering clues about the formation of galaxies and the nature of dark energy. This work not only enhances our understanding of cosmology but also showcases the collaborative efforts of scientists globally in pushing the boundaries of astronomical research.
