They will be joined by multiple space agencies, as per the, that will send European, Canadian, Japanese, and astronauts of other nationalities to the lunar surface.
This led to the Universe becoming transparent to light and, hence, visible to our instruments today. But seeing as how the first stars and galaxies formed during the Dark Ages, astronomers have been keen to look at this period so they can track the evolution of cosmic structures from the beginning.
The LuSEE-Night project is a collaboration between NASA and the Department of Energy , with partners from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , the Brookhaven National Laboratory, UC Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota. The Berkeley Lab team is currently building the experiment’s antenna that will listen to space for radiowaves emanating from the Dark Ages. The experiment is scheduled to launch for the Moon by 2025, where it will test technology in the lunar environment.
