Big bang news
Here are some recent news articles and updates about the Big Bang theory:
Recent Discoveries
- In 2020, scientists announced the discovery of the most distant galaxy ever observed, GN-z11, which is seen as it was just 400 million years after the Big Bang. (Source: NASA)
- In 2019, the Planck satellite detected the faint glow of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is the residual heat from the Big Bang. (Source: ESA)
- In 2018, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) released its first year of data, which included observations of the distant universe and the formation of the first galaxies. (Source: DES)
New Theories and Models
- In 2020, a team of scientists proposed a new theory that suggests the Big Bang may not have been a single event, but rather a series of smaller explosions that occurred in a region of space-time. (Source: Scientific American)
- In 2019, a study suggested that the universe may have undergone a period of rapid expansion in the early stages of its formation, which could have affected the formation of the first galaxies. (Source: Nature)
- In 2018, a team of scientists proposed a new model of the universe that suggests the Big Bang may have been caused by a collision between our universe and a parallel universe. (Source: Physics World)
Upcoming Missions and Experiments
- The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is scheduled to launch in 2023 and will study the formation of the first galaxies and stars in the universe. (Source: NASA)
- The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope is currently under construction and will be the world's largest radio telescope when completed. It will study the universe in unprecedented detail and may help answer questions about the Big Bang. (Source: SKA)
- The European Space Agency's Euclid mission is scheduled to launch in 2022 and will study the distribution of galaxies and the nature of dark energy. (Source: ESA)
