A heartfelt goodbye to Arno Penzias, who passed away on January 22nd.

In 1964, while preparing the antenna to measure the properties of the Milky Way galaxy, Dr. Penzias and Dr. Wilson, two young radio astronomer who was new to Bell Labs, encountered a persistent, unexplained radio waves signal that seemed to come from everywhere in the sky, detected no matter which way the antenna was pointed.

The echo of the big bang had been discovered.
