The cosmic microwave background radiation is the afterglow of the big bang: a
tenuous signal, more than 13 billion years old, which carries the answers to
many of the questions about the nature of our Universe. It was serendipitously
discovered in 1964, and thoroughly investigated in the last four decades by a
large number of experiments. Two Nobel Prizes in Physics have already been
awarded for research on the cosmic background radiation: one in 1978 to Arno
Penzias and Robert Wilson, who first discovered it, the other in 2006, to George
Smoot and John Mather, for the results of the COBE satellite.
