...fairness, it must be acknowledged that cosmologists have had very little information to go on, at least until very recently. The distant galaxies that bear witness to the universe's origin, evolution and structure are excruciatingly faint, and it takes every bit of skill observers have to tease out their secrets. It hasn't been until the past decade, in fact, that astronomers have had powerful telescopes like the Hubble out in space and the Keck atop Hawaii's Mauna Kea, ultrafast supercomputers and super-sensitive electronic light detectors to give them the data they hunger for. In a very...

Their mission: to uncover what is at the site, to analyze carefully each artifact they find, then to formulate and defend a thesis about the nature of the place and the people who once lived there.
