Cosmic Microwave Background

Posted on:

Origin and Nature of the CMB The cosmic microwave background (CMB) emerged about 380,000 years after the Big Bang, when the universe cooled enough for protons and electrons to form neutral hydrogen atoms. This transition allowed light to travel freely across space without constant interference from charged particles. Today, this […]
