New measurements of the cosmic microwave background by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope find that the universe is flat.
In What Shape Is the Universe? A New Study Suggests We’ve Got It All Wrong, some researchers sought to present the case that the Universe is shaped like a sphere.
But then note the correction at the very bottom, from last month:
New measurements of the cosmic microwave background by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope find that the universe is flat, with a density matching the critical density. “We find no evidence of deviation from flatness,” the ACT scientists write, “supporting the interpretation that the [deviation seen by Planck] is a statistical fluctuation.”
