light in the universe may help reveal secrets about the earliest moments in its formation.

Using the South pole Telescope scientists observed twisting patterns in the polarization of the cosmic microwave backgroundâ##light that last interacted with matter very early in the history of the universe less than 400000 years after the big bang. These patterns

Measurements of this ancient light have given already physicists a wealth of knowledge about the properties of the universe.

Light from the cosmic microwave background is polarized mainly due to the scattering of photons off of electrons in the early universe through the same process by

To tease out the B modes in their data the scientists used a previously measured map of the distribution of mass in the universe to determine where the gravitational lensing should occur.

The careful study of such B modes will help physicists better understand the universe. The patterns can be used to map out the distribution of mass thereby more accurately defining cosmologically important properties like the masses of neutrinos tiny elementary particles prevalent throughout the cosmos.

and squeezing the fabric of the universe would give rise to the telltale twisted polarization patterns of B modes.

#Nearby star is almost as old as the Universe Astronomers have discovered a Methuselah of stars#a denizen of the Solar system's neighbourhood that is at least 13.2 billion years old and formed shortly after the Big bang."

and helium#a hallmark of having formed early in the history of the Universe, before successive generations of stars had a chance to forge heavier elements.

#Planck snaps infant Universe For astronomers, it is the ultimate treasure map. On 21 march, the Planck space telescope team released the highest-precision map yet of the cosmic microwave background (CMB),

the map records the precise contours of the nascent Universe #and in doing so pins down key parameters of the Universe today.

The tiny fluctuations embedded in the CMB map reveal a Universe that is expanding slightly more slowly than had been thought.

That dials back the amount of gravity-countering dark energy to 68.3%of the Universe and adds a little more unseen dark matter to the mix.

It also means that the Universe is a little older: 13.82 billion years old, adding a few tens of millions of years to the previously calculated value.

The map even shows that the number of neutrino flavours permeating the cosmos will probably remain at three#had there been a fourth,

the Universe would have expanded more quickly during its first moments. These results represent refinements of numbers obtained by previous missions such as the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP.

the Universe grew from a subatomic point to something the size of a grapefruit that then continued to expand at a more stately pace.

This growth spurt would help to explain why the Universe we see today is homogeneous on the largest scales

and carry with them an imprint of the quantum fluctuations that roiled the inflationary Universe.

"All the structures we see in the Universe are coming from these little perturbations, says Paul Shellard, a Planck cosmologist at the University of Cambridge, UK.

#Planck telescope peers into primordial Universe The Planck space telescope has delivered the most detailed picture yet of the cosmic microwave background, the residual glow of the Big bang. Unveiling the results from the##700-million (US$904-million) European space agency (ESA) probe,

scientists say that the images shed fresh light on the first instants of the Universe s birth and peg the age of the Universe at 13.82 billion years#slightly older than previously estimated."

the Universe expanded at a staggering rate#a process dubbed inflation. Inflation would explain why the Universe is so big,

and why we cannot detect any curvature in the fabric of space (other than the tiny indentations caused by massive objects such as black holes).

which time the Universe had cooled to a few thousand degrees and neutral atoms of hydrogen and helium were beginning to form from the seething mass of charged plasma.

and measure the dark energy that is accelerating the expansion of the Universe. Planck, launched in 2009,

These precise measurements show that the Universe is expanding slightly slower than estimated from WMAP's data.

which suggests that the Universe is about 50 million years older than calculated from WMAP images.

The Planck data also implies that dark energy makes up 68.3%of the energy density of the Universe,

Since each molecule in the universe absorbs light at different optical frequencies, an odor has its own unique signature. ather than sniffing out a variety of smells as a dog would,

However most of the galaxies in the universe are shaped pancake disc galaxies such as lenticular galaxies and our own spiral Milky way.

and universe expansion Astronomers have had long a dark secret: one of the cornerstones of the Nobel prizewinning discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating had never been tested directly.

The discovery hinged on the assumption that certain kinds of supernovae detonate in thermonuclear explosions that have fixed a amount of energy

In 1998 astronomers used measurements of the distances of various type IA supernovae to show that the expansion of the universe is accelerating

and physics that govern the universe says astronomer Geoff Marcy of the University of California Berkeley.

#Baby model cosmos grows up to look like the real thing A supercomputer simulation has tracked the evolution of the universe from a mere 12 million years after the big bang until the present day.

It is the first to produce realistic-looking galaxies by the thousands and a triumph for our current understanding of the history of the universe.

so complete now that we can make models that predict a universe that just looks like ours.

and distant galaxy have created together a cosmic magnifying glass that could improve our understanding of the universe's expansion and dark matter.

whether and by how much the light from the supernova is being messed with by other things like nearby galaxies or the expansion of the universe.

Schmidt used type 1a supernovae to deduce that the universe's expansion was accelerating a finding that won him the 2011 Nobel prize in physics along with Adam Riess and Saul Perlmutter.

The finding could help investigate dark matter the stuff thought to make up over 80 per cent of our universe's matter.

Such systems could also help in the search to understand dark energy the mysterious entity thought to be behind the acceleration of the universe's expansion.

The ultimate fate of the universe is thought to depend on whether the acceleration is changing. Type 1a supernovae are used already to measure the rate of expansion over time

On 17 march researchers led by John Kovac of Harvard university announced that gravitational waves from the early universe had been found by a telescope called BICEP2 at the South pole.

which suggests that space expanded faster than the speed of light in the first moments after the universe's birth.

or align the electromagnetic fields of photons they came into contact with in the infant universe.

The group is roughly one-twentieth the diameter of the observable universe big enough to challenge a principle dating back to Einstein that on large scales the universe looks the same in every direction.

Roger Clowes of the University of Central Lancashire in Preston UK and colleagues discovered the structure using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey the most comprehensive 3d map of the universe.

When Albert Einstein first applied his theory of general relativity to the universe as a whole to make the calculations workable he was forced to assume that one large part looks much like any other large part.

But other evidence such as a controversial stream of galaxies that seem to be moving in the same direction dubbed dark flow is also poking holes in the uniformity of the universe.

The search for such large structures is key to furthering our understanding of the universe

which the universe is supposed to be boring he says. But the cosmological principle is ingrained so that it is hard for researchers to shake.

For example it would take the lifetime of the universe for hydrogen the smallest of all atoms to pierce a graphene monolayer.

All the energy in the universe was created in the Big bang that created the cosmos with some of it locked up as mass.

An international team of astronomers from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey analysed starlight from more than 200,000 galaxies to find the universe is emitting far less energy than it once was.

Prof Driver said the data showed the amount of energy being generated was two times less than the amount of energy that was being generated two billion years ago. hat tells us that the universe is essentially dying,
