NASA Hunting Universe’s Oldest Light Using ALMA Astrological Interferometer

Big-Bang not only creates the universe but also produced some distinct phenomena like cosmic microwave background, which is a thermal radiation. It is also called the oldest light of universe that will help to detect unknown objects through the dense cluster of galaxies.

Beyond Earth, there is a limitless universe containing with the glittering of stars, unknown galaxies, planets, supernovas, nebulas, mysterious dark black holes etc. But mankind is always curious about their origin.

In this regard, Scientists introduced that beginning phase of Universe as a Cosmological simulation known as Big Bang Theorem. They stated that before the formation of the universe there has an era called Plank era where this universe exists as a high density and high-temperature state.

According to Big Bang Cosmology, this high temperature merges four fundamental forces like electromagnetism, gravitation, weak and strong nuclear interactions into a single fundamental force in that state. Big-Bang actually triggered by a cosmic inflation, which occurred 13.8 billion years from today and results in expansion of our universe and causes catastrophes in a wide range of observed phenomena distinctly and left some indelible emblems in our extended universe.

After that initial expansion, the universe cools down sufficiently and then formed subatomic particles. Cosmic Microwave Background and subsequently, the giant cloud of that particles formed large scale cluster including stellar evolution, galaxy formation etc.

Based on the latest report made by SCI NEWS, this Cosmic Microwave Background or CMB is stated as the oldest light in the universe and its presence in entire cosmos. CMB is actually a thermal radiation which discovered in 1964 by two young radio astronomers, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson.

Now the question is why scientists are too much interested about CMB, the reason behind this is when traditional optical telescope uses to detect in dense clusters of the galaxies. The space between stars and galaxies are too much dark that's why the background image is undetectable.

However, a radio telescope captured a comparatively less dark image but quality almost isotropic that why unable to identify an object that may be stars or galaxy or anything else. But the object is better detectable when radio telescope used in the microwave region of radio spectrum.

CMB is only detectable when it travels through space. Now when it passes through the galaxy cluster, the photons of CMB may be collided with high energy electrons contained within it and gets some energy boost.

Now, these boosted photons are detectable via radio telescope which may help to get information from dense galaxy clusters and other info about universe also. NASA monitored this observation through Hubble telescope as well as an interferometer established in the Atacama Desert called Atacama Large Millimeter Array.
