'People thought this couldn't be done': Scientists observe light of 'cosmic dawn' with a telescope on Earth for the first time everFor the first time, astronomers have used a ground-based telescope to observe polarized microwave light from the universe's earliest epoch. Their observations could give them a better understanding of how the universe evolved.
