Question

Which observational tool helped astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discover the existence of the cosmic microwave background (CMB)?

Answer 1

Wilson and Penzias accidentally discovered CMD using the Holmdel Horn Antenna.

Answer 2

Holmdale Horn Antenna

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1984, while working in the Bell Lab, the Holmdale Horn Antenna detected some signals thereby producing odd sounds which was felt to be coming from all parts of the sky. Both Wilson and Penzias, when heard the noise for the first time thought that it was due to the pigeon living in the antenna. They removed the pigeon avoid disturbance. Later they found CMB that predicted the echo of birth of Universe.

Hence, Holmdale Horn Antenna helped astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discover the existence of the cosmic microwave background
