The Topic: The Biggest Map in the Universe: Superlative Mapping at the Bottom of the Globe
Presenter: Clem Prkye
Blurb: Come and hear how scientists at the South Pole are making maps of the ancient Universe 80 billion light years across. These enormous maps are of incredibly cold light that once was too hot to handle, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The CMB is a faint radio hiss left over from a time when the entire Universe was hotter than the sun. Carefully mapping this now cold glow gives us a baby picture of the universe that reveals both its history and fate.
