A dry day and some sunshine are in store for the North- east. Gusty winds will push warmer air into the lower Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Strong winds will raise the wildfire danger and can kick up dust over the southern and central High Plains. Farther north, a snowstorm is forecast to reach from the northern Plains to part of the Upper Midwest.

If conf irmed, experts said, the discovery would be a major advance in the un - derstanding of the early uni- verse. Although many scien- tists already believed that an initial, extremely rapid growth spurt happened, they have long sought the evidence cited in the new study. Researchers reported Monday that they found it by peering into the faint light that remains from the Big Bang of nearly 14 billion years ago. The discovery "gives us a window on the universe at the very beginning," when it was far less than one-tril - lionth of a second old, said theoretical physicist Law- rence Krauss of Arizona State University, who was not involved in the work. "It's just amazing," he said. "You can see back to the beginning of time." Ma rc Ka mionkowski, a theoretical physicist at Johns Hopkins University wh o di dn 't p ar ti ci pa te i n th e research, said the finding is "not just a home run. It's a grand slam." He and other experts said the results must be con - firmed by other observa- tions, a standard caveat in science. Right after the Big Bang, the universe was a hot soup of particles. It took about 380,000 years to cool enough that the particles could form atoms, then stars and galaxies. Billions of ye ar s la te r, p la ne ts f or me d from gas and dust that were orbiting stars. The universe has continued to spread out. Krauss said he thinks the new results could rank among the greatest discov - eries in astrophysics over the last 25 years, such as the Nobel prize-winning discov- ery that the universe's ex- pansion is accelerating. The results were an- nounced by a collaboration that included researchers from the Harvard-Smith- sonian Center for Astro- physics, the University of Minnesota, Stanford Uni- versity, the California In- stitute of Technology and NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab- oratory. The team plans to submit its results to a sci- entific journal this week, said its leader, John Kovac of Harvard. Astronomers scanned about 2 percent of the sky for three years with a tele - scope at the South Pole, where the air is exception- ally dry. They were looking for a specific pattern in light waves within the faint mi - crowave glow left over from the Big Bang. The pattern has long been considered evidence of rapid growth, known as inflation. Kovac called it "the smoking-gun signature of inflation." spacE Evidence for universe growth spurt Steffen RichteR — the ASSociAted PReSS in this 2007 photo provided by Steffen Richter, the sun sets behind the BiceP2 telescope, foreground, and the South Pole telescope in Antarctica. By Jim Kuhnhenn The Associated Press WasHINGTON » President Barack Obama pressed vis- iting Palestinian President M a h moud A bba s Mon- day to help break the log- jam to elusive Middle East peace talks, acknowledging with a deadline that's fast approaching that the task ahead is "very hard, it's very challenging." "We're going to have to take some tough political decisions and risks if we're to move it forward," Obama said at the start of his Oval Office meeting with the Pal - estinian leader. The White House meeting marked a renewed foray into a diplomatic minefield that the president has mostly left up to his secretary of state, John Kerry. With just weeks left be - fore a U.S.-imposed April deadline for completing a framework for peace talks, Obama is hoping presiden - tial pressure might over- come a growing sense of pessimism on both sides. Just two weeks ago, Obama held a similar meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ben - jamin Netanyahu. Obama said everyone un- derstands what the con- tours of a Mideast peace deal would look like — a Palestin- ian state based on territory captured by Israel in 1967 with "mutually agreed upon swaps" that ensure the secu - rity of Israel.
