Los científicos están un paso más cerca de comprender la región fría del fondo cósmico de microondas

Después del Big Bang, el universo era opaco y tan caliente que formaba un plasma ionizado. Al enfriarse por debajo de 3000 grados se formaron los primeros átomos, y gran parte de la energía del Big Bang se emitió en forma de luz.

A la búsqueda de materia oscura en galaxias enanas irregulares con el telescopio Fermi-LAT, por Viviana Gammaldi, en el Blog de Madri+d

Hace casi un siglo, salieron a la luz los primeros indicios astrofísicos que apuntaban a la existencia de una nueva física: la interacción gravitacional no podía describir la cinemática de los objetos extra-galácticos.
