	10.03.2006 - UC Berkeley & LBL scientist George Smoot awarded Nobel Prize in Physics
		Smoot, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and an astrophysicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), shares the prize with John C. Mather of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. This is UC Berkeley's 20th Nobel Prize since Ernest O. Lawrence won in 1939, and its eighth physics Nobel.
		Smoot was born in Yukon, Fla. His father was a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, his mother was a science teacher and school principal.
		Smoot received his Ph.D. in physics from MIT in 1970 and decided to enter the field of cosmology, believing it was a frontier of fundamental science that was ripe for exploration.

	Berkeley Lab's George Smoot wins Nobel Prize in physics
		Smoot and his research team, after analyzing hundreds of millions of precision measurements in the data they'd gathered from an experiment aboard NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, had produced maps of the entire sky which showed "hot" and "cold" regions with temperature differences of a hundred-thousandth of a degree.
		Smoot was one of the first astrophysicists to devise ways of conducting experiments that produce data and information about the early universe.
		In 1976, Smoot was a key member of the team that found startling evidence in the CMB which contradicted the prevailing scientific view that galaxies are spread uniformly throughout the universe.
