in categoriile: Astronomy,Environment,Personalia,Space The Universe may have gone through a warming trend early in its history. That is what a team of astronomers have discovered by measuring the temperature of the gas that lies in between galaxies. They found that the temperature had progressively increased over the period from when the Universe was one tenth to one quarter of its current age. Most likely this cosmic climate change was caused by the energy output from young and active galaxies during the epoch. Results are presented in a paper to be published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS).
