Simons Observatory takes a closer look at the infant universe

The Simons Observatory in Chile is turning its instruments toward the oldest light in the cosmos: the cosmic microwave background, a faint afterglow from the Big Bang.

Its sensitive telescopes are designed to reveal subtle signals that earlier observations could not resolve as clearly. And here's the thing: a sharper view of this ancient glow could bring scientists closer to answering some of cosmology's biggest questions.
