"It is the largest, most sensitive space observatory ever built, and because of that, it has required new technologies that never existed before."

For one thing, it is the largest, most sensitive space observatory ever built, and because of that, it has required new technologies that never existed before.

"This breakthrough provides a more detailed understanding of the brain's complex activity, akin to upgrading from a basic telescope to a sophisticated space observatory," said David Darrow, MD, MPH, an assistant professor at the U of M Medical School, a neurosurgeon with M Health Fairview and senior author.

As well as being the most powerful space observatory ever built, it has instruments that take measurements at infra-red frequencies and so can see past the space dust that has for so long blocked our view.

Astronomers use CMB data from the Plank space observatory to place tight constraints on the mass of neutrinos.
