About 370,000 years after the Big Bang, the Universe had cooled down so light could escape, traveling for billions of years to reach our telescopes. This is the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, and the very last light released is known as "last scattering," when reflected, polarized light was released. New observations from the South Pole Telescope have completed a comprehensive survey of this polarized light, revealing more about the Universe's earliest history. The post A New Look a the ...
