  Stanford CA (SPX) Oct 22, 2024 Just like we use photos to reflect on memories of our past, astrophysicists want to use images of far-off galaxies to understand what the universe was like in its juvenile years. But current imaging technology can only reach so far back in history - 90 to 95 percent of the volume of our 14-billion-year-old universe remains unseen. "We want to measure the full volume of the universe because that gives us the best precision on cosmological physics," said Kirit Karkare, associate scientist at the De ... read more |
