Recently, scientists from John Hopkins University shipped a two-story-tall microwave telescope to a base in Chile. It is designed to notice patterns in the cosmic microwave background. The base of the telescope has four cylinders, which have detectors that receive signals. Within the next two years, three additional cylinders will be mounted to increase the quality of the observations. It is supposed to be the best telescope for observing the cosmic microwave background.
