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.

The resemblance is striking when viewed through cosmic maps. The structure was found as part of the CLASSIX Cluster Survey ...

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 ...

Cosmic background radiation is said to have come about around 380,000 years after the Universe formed, which is now -- thanks to this map -- estimated to be around 13.82 billion years ago.

The cosmic background radiation is extremely uniform, giving credence to a theory known as inflation, which posits that a tiny fraction of second after the Big Bang the universe suddenly expanded ...

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 ...

Presented Tuesday at “Future Science with CMB x LSS”, a conference at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University in Japan, this new map depicts the usually invisible dark matter ...

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 ...

WMAP launched June 30, 2001, with the goal of sensing subtle temperature differences in the cosmic microwave background, the glow of the first atoms to release their radiation 380,000 years after ...

Microwaves map cosmic origins. 05 Jun 2001 ... The background radiation that we detect today is therefore a record of the universe as it was just 300,000 years after the big bang, but it has been ...

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, ...

Scientists first predicted the existence of the cosmic background radiation more than 60 years ago and it was first detected in the 1960s. Sixteen years ago, the Cobe satellite produced the first ...
