Pigeon Poop And Strange Static: How We Proved The Big Bang

Using the 50-foot-long Holmdel Horn Antenna, they were trying to measure the radio waves emanating from galaxies beyond our own Milky Way. Even 50 years ago, our local radio waves were busy, and Penzias and Wilson spent time sifting out the chatter of broadcast radio and military radar, not to mention the constant roar of the sun, in order to make out the fainter extragalactic signals.

But even after removing the obvious interference, a noisy hum remained.

Couldn't Saturn just roll around like inside its ring? I mean the ring's not attached or anything.
