At 93 billion light years across, our observable universe seems full of unfathomable possibility. Today, the Nobel Prize Committee awarded the physics prize to three researchers whose scientific discoveries have framed this cosmic vastness into a more comprehensible picture.

This year’s award goes to a Canadian physicist, James Peebles, whose theoretical work underpins the current understanding of the universe’s beginnings, and two Swiss astronomers, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, who discovered the first planet orbiting a sun-like star. The three will split 9 million Swedish kronor, equal to about 910,000 dollars, with Peebles receiving half the prize, and Queloz and Mayor sharing the remaining half.
