Penzias and Dr. Robert A. Wilson. In 1965 while using the Horn Antenna\, Penzias and Wilson stumbled on the microwave background radiation that permeates the universe. Cosmologists quickly realized that Penzias and Wilson had made the most important disco very in modern astronomy since Edwin Hubble demonstrated in the 1920s that the universe was expanding. This discovery provided the evidence that con firmed George Gamow's and Abbe Georges Lemaitre's "Big Bang" theory of the creation of the universe and forever changed the science of cosmology—t he study of the history of the universe—from a field for unlimited theor etical speculation into a subject disciplined by direct observation. In 19 78 Penzias and Wilson received the Nobel Prize for Physics for their momen tous discovery.\n\nTwo Letters Submitted to the Astrophysical Journal Lett ers\nTwo letters were rushed to the Astrophysical Journal Letters. In the first\, Dicke and his associates outlined the importance of cosmic backgro und radiation as substantiation of the Big Bang Theory. The second letter signed jointly by Penzias and Wilson titled\, "A Measurement of Excess Ant enna Temperature at 4080 Megacycles per Second" disclosed the existence of the residual background noise\, and attributed a possible explanation to that given by Dicke in his companion letter.\n\nReferences in the Astrophy sical Journal Letters:\n1965ApJ 142 419P.pdf American Astronomical Society A Measurement of Excess Antenna Temperature at 4080 M c/s AA Penzias RW W ilson May 13\, 1965 Bell Telephone Laboratories\, Inc Crawford Hill\, Holm del\, New Jersey\n1965ApJ 142 414D.pdf American Astronomical Society Cosmi c Black-Body Radiation RH Dicke PJE Peebles PG Roll DT Wilkinson May 7th\, 1965 Palmer Physical Laboratory Princeton\, New Jersey\n\nAgenda: \nVisit Dr Robert Woodrow Wilson Park\n\nView the Antenna 3pm to 4pm\n\nMeet up a t AT&T Labs 200 South Laurel Ave Middletown New Jersey\n\nMuseum Tour 4pm\ n\nCake 5pm\n\nDr Robert Woodrow Wilson Park\, 791 Holmdel-Keyport Road\, Holmdel\, New Jersey\, United States\, 07733 LOCATION:Dr Robert Woodrow Wilson Park\, 791 Holmdel-Keyport Road\, Holmdel \, New Jersey\, United States\, 07733 ORGANIZER:kit.august@gmail.com SEQUENCE:46 SUMMARY:Visit Dr Robert Woodrow Wilson Park: May 20 1st Measure of Cosmic M icrowave Background Radiation CMB Big Bang Origins of the Universe URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557103 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Visit the Dr Robert Woodrow Wilson Park.
