Hubble Telescope

Alan Guth
Alan Guth spent most of his live studying the application of theoretical particle physics to the early universe. In 1981 he preposed how it came to be so uniform. http://web.mit.edu/physics/people/faculty/guth_alan.html -
COBE
Launched in 1988. The COBE spacecraft was intended to reasurch the cosmic microwave background radiation in the universe. George Smoot and John Mather received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006 for their work on the project. -
