Experiments at Berkeley Lab Help Trace Interstellar Dust Back to Solar System’s Formation

Image - An elemental map of tiny glassy grains (blue with green specks) inside a cometary-type interplanetary dust particle. Carbonaceous material (red) holds these objects together. This image was collected from a thin section of the particle using a scanning transmission electron microscope.

Tiny Distortions in Universe’s Oldest Light Reveal Clearer Picture of Strands in Cosmic Web

Illustration - In this illustration, the trajectory of cosmic microwave background light is bent by structures known as filaments that are invisible to our eyes, creating an effect known as weak lensing captured by the Planck satellite (left), a space observatory. Researchers used computers to study the weak lensing signals and produce a map of these filaments, which typically span hundreds of light years in length.
