Tiny satellite could help scientists uncover secrets from universe’s ‘dark ages’
CosmoCube would use the moon’s far side to block radio interference and listen for a faint signal emitted by hydrogen more than 13.5 billion years ago.
The Moon could finally reveal dark matter
Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold dark matter, providing long-sought answers about the invisible backbone of the Universe.
The University of Cambridge is preparing a small satellite called CosmoCube, not larger than a cabin suitcase, which will hide behind the Moon in an attempt to hear what the universe was saying even before the first stars were lit. What it is looking for is the famous 21-centimetre ray, a radio signal emitted by neutral hydrogen during the dark ages, this period of about 150 million years stuck between the Big Bang and the birth of the first sta…
What if the greatest secret of the Universe was hidden behind the Moon? A bold mission is preparing to use our satellite as a cosmic shield to listen to the very first moments of Creation.
