Planck is a space observatory operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), and designed to observe anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at microwave and infra-red frequencies, with high sensitivity and small angular resolution. Planck has a higher resolution and sensitivity than WMAP, allowing it to probe the power spectrum of the CMB to much smaller scales (×3).On 21 March 2013, the mission's all-sky map of the cosmic microwave background was released.

The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), also referred to as Explorer 66, was a satellite dedicated to cosmology. Its goals were to investigate the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) of the universe and provide measurements that would help shape our understanding of the cosmos.

George Smoot (Feb 20, '45) is an astrophysicist, cosmologist, and Nobel laureate. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006 for his work on the Cosmic Background Explorer that led to the "discovery of the black body form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation." In other words, he mapped the hot and cold spots of the universe. The areas that cooled earliest after the Big Bang are where we find galaxies and new stars being produced.

Stephen Hawking (8 Jan '42) is a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology of Cambridge. He worked w/Roger Penrose on gravitational singularities theorems based on general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation. He set forth a cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He supports the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Roger Penrose is known for his scientific work in mathematical physics, in particular for his contributions to general relativity and cosmology. He has received the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their contribution to our understanding of the universe. Initially it was thought that a star had to be symmetrical, equally dense in all directions, for a black hole to be formed. Penrose postulated that, if one were big enough, symmetry wouldn't matter.

Fred Hoyle, opponent of the Big Bang Theory, insisted that there had to be some detectable trace radiation of such an expansion if it had happened. David Wilkinson and Bob Wilson, working on two separate projects, discovered the same background radiation independent of each other at nearly the same time through the use of a horn reflector. The Big Bang had revealed itself. Edwin Hubble, Big Bang Theory, Bigbang, The Expanse, Horn, Fred

Fred Hoyle (24 Jun 1915 – 20 Aug 2001) was an English astronomer noted for his contribution to the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis and his rejection of the Big Bang theory, a term originally coined by him. He insisted on a Steady State universe where matter was spreading out and new matter was being formed to fill in the voids. Though this turned out not to be true, his work in stellar nucleosynthesis actually helped explain how base chemical elements were created during the Big Bang.
