They showed that microwave radiation that fills the universe has an exquisite perfection that proves it came from the Big Bang itself. Even more spectacularly, they found tiny variations in its brightness that come from quantum sound waves in that great explosion, primordial seeds that would nucleate the growth of galaxies and make our., own existence possible. Their discoveries drew standing ovations from scientists and made headlines around the world. In this no-holds-barred account, COBE's Project Scientist and originator John C. Mather and science writer John Boslough furnish intimate and startling details. They tell of the discovery of the cosmic background radiation and of the subsequent fifteen-year struggle to design, build, and launch the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite. An., eye-opening, riveting account with rare narrative verve, The Very First Light tells the story of COBE from start to finish, including an unwelcome controversy when one team member breached the project's publication policy and stepped into the limelight alone., , , , , , , Modern Book, , , from Astronomy Dept. 4/2009, , , ML0797, , , Cosmic background radiation., , 0, Boslough, John., 1, , Mather, John C., 1st ed., New York : BasicBooks, c1996, Online version:, 0, 8, Very first light., (OCoLC)625199438, Publisher description, Inhaltsverzeichnis, 4, 4, 2, 2, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0832/96010781-d.html, http://www.gbv.de/dms/goettingen/195902823.pdf, Baker and Taylor, BTCP, , , 96010781 //r97, HELD BY AP$ - 1075 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a34357391zDLChFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryu20131019, a232522285zMCSbHARVARD UNIVhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100627, a134027300zRBNbBROWN UNIVhFulliLCCu20100716, a242482959zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100720, a483853887zN15bNEW YORK UNIV, GROUP BATCHLOADhFulliLCCkDDCu20100705, a176565512zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100726, a368234393zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100725, a154418910zMDAVPbAMERICAN INST OF PHYSICShFullu20100706, a154891304zAOWbAMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOC LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100728, a275176095zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100804, a482166045zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhFullu20100705, a685506847zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20101128, aZ0bAP$, QB991 .C64 M38 1996
