Summary
- A Brief History of Background Radiation
Penzias and Wilson discovered the remnant afterglow from the Big Bang and were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work.
COBE first discovered the patterns in the afterglow, and Mather and Smoot were awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for that work.
WMAP brought the patterns into much better focus to unveil new information about the history and fate of the universe. Bennet, Page, and Spergel won the 2010 Shaw Prize for their WMAP work.
