Penzias and Wilson Hear the Big Bang

Since my five-year old G loves stories (don’t we all?), I’m introducing history to him through illustrated historical anecdotes. This is part of my a quest to make history more interesting to him than it was to me throughout my entire formal education. I’m starting with Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson’s discovery of evidence that support the Big Bang because the Big Bang seems a good place to start a study of our past.
