Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment

The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER) is a scientific mission that studies the faint glow of infrared light originating from distant stars and galaxies in the early universe. By measuring this background light, CIBER helps scientists understand how cosmic structures formed and evolved over billions of years. It uses specialized instruments to detect infrared signals that can't be seen with regular telescopes, providing insight into the universe's history and the processes that shaped it. This research enhances our knowledge of the cosmos and its development since the dawn of time.
