The spiral galaxy M101 takes center stage in this photo from the Dragonfly telescope, but astronomers are also interested in the fainter galaxies lurking in the background.

[6] Cosmic - infrared background radiation, similar to the more famous cosmic microwave background, is a faint glow in the infrared part of the spectrum that appears to come from all directions in space.

Along with the familiar cosmic microwave background — the afterglow of the big bang — the distant universe is suffused with an infrared background, thought to come from galaxies and stars too faint and far away to see.

These primordial gravitational waves are too faint to be detectable directly, but it should be possible to see their imprint on the relic radiation from the big bang — the cosmic microwave background.

The Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, or CMB for short, is a faint glow of light that fills the universe, falling on Earth from every direction with nearly uniform intensity.

Testing the model has been tough because groupings of stars at distances of 8 billion to 11 billion light - years away from us are so faint that they tend to vanish into the background glow of Earth's atmosphere.

Xavier Prochaska, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz and coauthor of the paper.

Lee Smolin of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics noted that some forms of quantum gravity predict certain asymmetries — one direction of polarization might be favored over another — that could be imprinted in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a faint echo of radiation from the early universe.
