In the early 1990s, a NASA-led team of scientists changed the way
we view the universe. With the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer)
project, they showed that the microwave radiation that fills the
universe must have come from the Big Bang--effectively proving the
Big Bang theory beyond any doubt. It was one of the greatest
scientific findings of our generation, perhaps of all time. In "The
Very First Light," John Mather, one of COBE's leaders, and science
writer John Boslough tell the story of how it was achieved. A
gripping tale of big money, bigger egos, tense politics, and
cutting-edge engineering, "The Very First Light" offers a rare
insider's account of the world of big science.
