The standard model of cosmology relies on an accurate reading of the cosmic microwave background. This radiation, emitted 380,000 years after the Big Bang, is considered proof of the theory's ...

The cosmic microwave background can help scientists piece together the history of the universe.

The Cosmic Microwave Background carries with it a record of events throughout the 13.8-billion-year history of the universe.

A new image of cosmic microwave background radiation (half-sky image at left, closeup at right) adds high definition from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to an earlier image from the Planck satellite.

“The cosmic microwave background (CMB) was generated 380.000 years after the big bang, when the universe became transparent. The photons we will measure next week were generated a little bit ...

THEY certainly make for pretty posters. But besides adorning boffins' walls, all-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, the latest and most detailed of which came on March ...

But in 1964, Bell Labs researchers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson accidentally discovered the microwave remnants of the Big Bang, the cosmic background radiation, using the antenna, earning it a ...

Various large-scale astrophysical research projects are set to take place over the next decade, several of which are so-called cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. These are large-scale ...

The cosmic microwave background — the leftover light from when the universe was only 380,000 years old — soaks the entire cosmos, filling every cubic centimeter.

Host Regina Barber talks with two cosmologists about the cosmic microwave background, its implications for the universe's origins and the discovery that started it all.

Scientists are using secondary signatures from the cosmic microwave background to map the universe’s hidden matter.
