Baltimore Sun : Three recipients will share the $1 million Shaw Prize in astronomy this year: Charles L. Bennett of Johns Hopkins University and Lyman A. Page Jr and David N. Spergel of Princeton University. From their work with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe experiment, they determined that the universe is 13.7 billion years old and that the type of matter that has been observed on Earth constitutes less than 5% of all matter in the universeâmdash;dark matter and dark energy make up the other 95%.
