Scientists are reeling after the news that the CMB-S4 project won't proceed with its South Pole outpost due to NSF's inability to support it. Construction hopes were for early 2030s.
Kevin Huffenberger, co-spokesperson for CMB-S4, expressed surprise and disappointment over the setback, stating it's a significant challenge to address.
CMB-S4, the fourth-generation cosmic microwave background observatory, aimed at deciphering the universe's early light, has faced an unexpected obstacle with the cancellation of the South Pole component.
The CMB, often referred to as the universe's baby picture, was the focus of the CMB-S4 project, supported by astronomers and particle physicists in formal planning processes.
