Charles Bennett

Charles Bennett is a prominent astrophysicist known for his work on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, which measured the cosmic microwave background radiation—an afterglow from the Big Bang. His research has significantly advanced our understanding of the universe's origins, revealing its age, composition, and evolution. Bennett's work has helped establish the standard model of cosmology, explaining the formation of galaxies and large-scale structures in the universe. His contributions have been crucial in bridging theoretical ideas and observational evidence, shaping our current view of the cosmos.
