This undated handout photo courtesy of Steffen Richter shows the Dark Sector Lab (DSL), located 3/4 of a mile from the Geographic South Pole, which houses the BICEP2 telescope (left) and the South Pole Telescope (right). In a major discovery for understanding the origins of the universe, US scientists said March 17, 2014 they have detected echoes of the Big Bang 14 billion years ago. The “first direct evidence of cosmic inflation”, or the rapid growth spurt that came in the first moments of the life of the universe, was found with the help of a telescope at the South Pole, and was announced by experts at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The detection of these gravitational waves represents the last untested element of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, filling in a major gap in our understanding of how the universe was born.

People watch the body of a child retrieved by the Ugandan Police divers on Lake Albert near Kitebere on March 23, 2013. As many as 60 people are feared to have drowned when a boat capsized on Lake Albert on the border between Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo, reports said on March 22. Uganda's Daily Monitor newspaper said the boat, travelling between two districts in western Uganda, capsized shortly before midday Saturday. “We have also recovered 19 bodies but we expect more bodies”, local official Oscar Chunyai was quoted as saying. He added that dozens more people had been rescued by fisherman who saw the accident. The boat was reportedly carrying 100 people, many of them refugees from the DRC, The New Vision newspaper said, adding that 15 bodies of children had also been recovered. The number rescued so far pointed to a potential death toll of anywhere between up to 50 or 60 dead, Ugandan media reports said. (Photo by Michele Sibiloni/AFP Photo)

In this picture made available by the Vatican newspaper L' Osservatore Romano, Pope Francis is confessed by a priest in St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican, Friday, March 28, 2014. Pope Francis has kneeled before a priest and confessed his sins in a St. Peter's Basilica ceremony he hopes will inspire others to seek forgiveness. Traditionally, popes have heard confessions of some faithful in the basilica on Good Friday morning. But Francis did so three weeks early. And he surprised many in the packed church Friday by confessing his own sins with his back to cameras. At one point, the priest hearing his confession appeared to chuckle. Francis, solemn-faced, then rose and started hearing confessions himself. (Photo by L' Osservatore Romano/AP Photo)
