Glow in the dark
Article Abstract:
Three research teams have confirmed and extended Puget's findings that the infrared background can be used to determine the expansion of the universe. The infrared data had to be 'cleaned' by subtracting the light emitted by dust in the solar system as well as those coming from nearby galaxies.
