Stanford -- U.S. and Welsh researchers say they've obtained a detailed picture of the early universe using a telescope in the Antarctic.
The researchers led by Professors Walter Gear of Cardiff University and Sarah Church of Stanford University said their measurements of the cosmic microwave background provide further support for the standard cosmological model of the universe.
They said their findings confirm the model's prediction that dark matter and dark energy make up 95 percent of everything in existence, while ordinary matter makes up just 5 percent.
