Enseí±anza de la Astronomía, Horgan, McKellar, Temperatura de 3 K,, prediccionesResumen
Esta breve comunicación fue escrita en interés de la enseí±anza de la Astronomía y la diffusion de la Ciencia de la Astronomía para corregir una informaciõn presente en el popular libro escrito por John Horgan (originalmente publicado en 1996), The end of science: facing the limits of knowledge in the twilight of the science age, respect a la prevision de la tempratura cosmica de fondo CBR anterior a Arno Penzias y Robert Wilson. Horgan citó a Andrew McCullough. El nombre correcto es Andrew McKellar. Otro error es el aí±o de publicación del artículo de McKellar: 1940 (en la revista Astronomical Society of the Pacific) y no 1941 como cita Horgan en su libro. También se discuten las buenas predicciones de la temperature CBR hechas antes de que Penzias & Wilson usaran un modelo del Universo que no aquel del Big Bang.
