The Universe After the Big Bang

Caption: Fig. 2: The processes in the Universe after the Big Bang. The radio waves are much older than the light of galaxies. From the distortion of the images (curved lines) -- caused by the gravitation of material between us and the light sources -- it is possible to calculate and map the entire foreground mass.
