By Dennis Overbye
Hardly anyone remembers now, but 1991 was a bad year for the Big Bang. Astronomers were having difficulty reconciling their models of the explosion that gave birth and impetus to the expanding cosmos with the structure of the modern universe, in particular the discovery of strings of clusters and so-called superclusters of galaxies going hundreds of millions of light-years across the sky. But in April 1992, Berkeley Lab astrophysicist George Smoot announced that the NASA satellite Cosmic Background Explorer had detected faint irregularities in a bath of microwaves that pervade space. Full story.

He added that that the technology, once accessible only to the wealthiest countries, is now far more easily obtained. Full story.
