CHIME (Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment)

CHIME (Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment) is a scientific project that uses a large radio telescope in Canada to study the universe. It focuses on detecting a specific kind of radio wave emitted by hydrogen, the most common element in the universe. By measuring these signals across vast cosmic distances, CHIME aims to understand how the universe has expanded over time and to explore phenomena like dark energy. Its innovative design allows it to monitor large sections of the sky simultaneously, providing valuable data for cosmology research.
