Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first confirmed climbers to summit Mount Everest. This photo was taken in 1953 after the expedition. Notably, the only photograph taken at the summit was of Norgay. Hillary did not want his photo taken at all, insisting that the 15 minutes spent on top of the mountain be his alone to remember. He went on too climb 10 other Himalayan peaks, led expeditions with Neil Armstrong and other friends (including Tenzing Norgay) to both poles. He missed two flights that later crashed because of last minute scheduling conflicts, and the untimely death of his daughter and wife.

Since the 1960s, astronomers have been aware of the electromagnetic background radiation that pervades the Universe. Known as the Cosmic Microwave Background, this radiation is the oldest light in the Universe and what is left over from the Big Bang. By 2004, astronomers also became aware th
