The European Space Agency's Planck satellite has been gathering data since its launch in 2009, slowly building up a map of the cosmic microwave background radiation -- a distant remnant of the Big ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is primeval radiation emitted shortly after the Big Bang. Regarded as an 'echo' of the Big Bang, CMB fills the universe.

This cosmic microwave background radiation, or CMB, is still detectable today, and interestingly, it's not evenly spread out across the universe. There are tiny fluctuations that make it "clumpy ...

In cosmology, the cosmic microwave background radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation discovered in 1965 that fills the entire universe. It has a thermal 2.725 kelvin black body spectrum ...

The Cosmic Background Explorer satellite first detected these patches in 1992 as temperature variations of just one part in 10 5 in the microwave radiation, which it showed had a perfect black-body ...

The Planck satellite released its first microwave radiation map of the entire sky. The image is made from 10 months of data and will be followed by three more all-sky surveys by the end of the ...

The ATCA Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Anisotropy Experiment, based in Narrabri, Australia. Composed of five dishes which are each 22 meters across, it has been taking data since 1991 at a ...

ESA's Planck mission is yielding some surprising findings along with a beautiful new map of the Milky Way ... The telescope spent four years studying the cosmic microwave background radiation ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB, is radiation that fills the universe and can be detected in every direction. Microwaves are invisible to the naked eye so they cannot be seen without ...

In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation fills the universe and travels in all directions. As we see it from here in satellite maps, it is about equally bright in all directions, ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, or CMB for short, is a faint glow of light that fills the universe, falling on Earth from every direction with nearly uniform intensity.
