Simons Observatory

The Simons Observatory is a scientific project in Chile designed to study the universe’s earliest moments. Using large, highly sensitive telescopes, it observes faint signals from the cosmic microwave background—the afterglow of the Big Bang. By analyzing these signals, scientists aim to learn about the universe's origin, its expansion, and fundamental physics, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy. The observatory helps piece together cosmic history and enhances our understanding of the universe’s evolution, functioning as a powerful tool in modern cosmology.
