Detecting the 21 cm Signal from the Cosmic Dark Ages by Willow Smith, Jonathan C. Pober

“…The cosmic “dark ages” is the period between the last scattering of the cosmic microwave background and the appearance of the first luminous sources, spanning redshifts 1100 ≳  z  ≳ 30. The only way to observe this period is by examining the 21 cm hyperfine transition line of neutral hydrogen H i , which—given the high redshifts (and hence long wavelengths)—must be observed from outside Earth’s ionosphere. …”
