Richard DePersio. Light There be Light. This represents the first visible
light created in the universe. Red light is visible. Beyond the red is
infrared followed by microwave (nearest part of radio portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum). 3 degree kelvin radiation is in the microwave
and surrounds the whole universe. The burst of bright and blinding light
occurred about 400,000 years after the big bang. Since then the universe
has continued to expand and cool.
