Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope, Radio telescope near Cambridge, Great Britain

The Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope is a radio facility near Cambridge that captures microwave signals from space. The instrument measures tiny temperature differences in cosmic background radiation to help scientists understand the structure of the early universe.

The facility began operations in the early 2000s as part of international efforts to investigate radiation from the universe's birth. The measurements provided valuable data about how matter and energy were distributed in the earliest moments after the Big Bang.

International research teams gather at this facility to collect data about the early formation and evolution of the universe.

The site is located away from residential areas and is not designed for casual visits, as it is an active research facility. Interested people can learn about findings and available data through online archives without needing to visit the location in person.

The instrument contributes to mapping temperature fluctuations across the sky, revealing details about matter distribution after the Big Bang.
