POLARIZATION IN THE MICROWAVE BACKGROUND has been measured by the Degree
Angular Scale Interferometer detector (DASI: http://astro.uchicago.edu/dasi/),
situated at the South Pole. DASI was one of the first detector groups to
see (Update 537: http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2001/split/537-1.html)
several peaks in the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background, the
radiation originating from that era in the early universe (some 300,000
years after the big bang) when stable atoms first formed.  The modern
theory of cosmology says that these microwaves received an orientation
(polarization) when they emerged from the seething plasma (the "surface of
last scattering") then pervading the cosmos.  DASI's measurement of a
faint polarization, reported last week at the COSMO-02 meeting in Chicago,
is consistent with the theoretical prediction. (Preprint at
