## Resource

A British-led team is developing CosmoCube, a miniature satellite that could explore the universe’s mysterious cosmic dark ages from lunar orbit. Using the Moon’s far side to block Earth’s radio interference, the spacecraft will search for ancient hydrogen signals that could reveal how the first stars formed and how dark matter shaped the early universe.
