Synopsis
Scientists using NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anistropy Probe (WMAP) have created the most detailed portrait of the infant Universe. By capturing the afterglow of the Big Bang, called the cosmic microwave background (CMB), we now believe the Universe to be 13.7 billion years olf. WMAP launched on June 30, 2001. Note: WMAP spins like a top to capture light from every part of the sky. Animator: Dana Berry (Skyworks Digital). Writer: Michael D. McClare (HTSI).
