To tell 1ave heard, read or watched something 1 truth we can look back into the past, We do that everytime welookat the tars thisinludes thesun), planets or anythinginthe sky that is beyond our planet. One question might be rotating in your mind! “How?” Lights the fastest thing inthe universe we know. It travels 186,000 miles (about 1299337.98 km) per second. A light year is an astrological measuring unit equivalent to the estance travelled by light in a year's time. When we are looking at star, let's say the north tar/ Polaris, weare not looking atit how itis right now takes the ight from Polaris 323 light years toreach s.So, we lok at Polaris tonight, we will se how it was 323 years ag. This applies for every celestial abject inthe sky, every planet, nebula and galaty. Thus, by looking at the right sky, with telescopes and detectors, we can almost see back to the beginning ofthe Universe. For this we ean thank the scientists Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who stumbled upon agreat discovery completely by accident. Pensias and Wilson worked in Bell Lab, the research centre ofthe ATT. They hae their eye on the Holmdel telescope since they had joined the la. Finally, when the Telstar satelite was launched, they began testing their observations With Holmdel. As they started using the telescope, there was a background “noise” received by the telescope. Wherever they tured the telescope, they received the same noise. frst, they thought was the pigeon poop covering the antenna ofthe telescope, but even after they cleaned it, the noise was stil there. Later, with litle help from Robert Dickey 2), they found out that twas radiation lft out from the time of the big bang, which had travelled through time and had reached them, This is knowin as the ‘Cosmic Microwave Background’, £ven though Penzias and Wilson had recelved the ays in 1963, the rays were remoants ofthe light ofthe eary universe. They were unchanged ‘other than that they had cooled down curing thir journey from the point of origin oftheuniverseto earth Dia You know?
