Exploring the Dark Universe: Cosmic Microwave Background
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
DARK UNIVERSE, the new Hayden Planetarium Space Show now open at the American Museum of Natural History, is produced by an acclaimed team that includes astrophysicist and curator Mordecai-Mark Mac Low. Here, Dr. Mac Low discusses cosmic microwave background - energy left over from the Big Bang that provides a "baby picture of the universe." DARK UNIVERSE celebrates the pivotal discoveries that have led us to greater knowledge of the structure and history of the universe and our place in it—and to new frontiers for exploration. The Space Show is narrated by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. For more information, visit: http://www.amnh.org/dark-universe. DARK UNIVERSE was created by the American Museum of Natural History, the Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space, and the Hayden Planetarium. Made possible through the generous sponsorship of ACCENTURE. And proudly supported by CON EDISON. The Museum also gratefully acknowledges major funding from the Charles Hayden Foundation. Presented with special thanks to NASA and the National Science Foundation. DARK UNIVERSE was developed by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (www.amnh.org), in collaboration with the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco and GOTO INC, Tokyo, Japan.

Fifty years ago today, two astronomers made a discovery that forever changed our understanding of the universe.
On May 20, 1964, American radio astronomers Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias pointed their antenna at empty patches of sky, and stumbled on a low-level hiss that would turn out to be cosmic radiation—cosmic microwave background—evidence for the Big Bang theory of the beginning of the universe.

This video is both entertaining and informative and does well to help in educating people.

The entire universe was once hotter than the surface of the Sun. What became of the light emitted by that hot universe?
In this video, Mac Low explains how the cosmic microwave background—energy left over from the Big Bang—was discovered. -
Great video! Really enjoy the human stories behind the discoveries
