The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment-Night (LuSEE-Night) is a pathfinder which will study the Moon’s radio environment and potentially take a first look at a previously unobserved era in our cosmic history. It is a collaboration between NASA though Space Science Laboratory in Berkeley and Department of Energy though Brookhaven National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The long-term scientific program is to study the Dark Ages, the cosmic era between the last scattering of the cosmic microwave background and the time when the first stars and galaxies formed. Only cold, non-luminous hydrogen gas existed during this epoch, and so it has been largely unexplored and remains one of the least constrained frontiers of modern cosmology.
