Discovered at the Bell Labs by winners of 1978 Nobel Prize, Penzias and Wilson, this phenomenon is currently mapped by WMAP and COBE and it fits a blackbody spectrum at 2.7 Kelvin.
Doroshkevich and Novikov wrote an article suggesting a search for this phenomenon, although the first detection of it had happened three months earlier. The Kompaneets equations describes scattering of this phenomenon, and the integrated gravitational shift seen in this maps the evolution of gravity wells; those distortions are named for (*) Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and Sachs-Wolfe. Its primary dipole anisotropy is caused by the velocity of the Milky Way, and higher order multipole terms are used to study inflation and recombination. Discovered at the Bell Labs by winners of 1978 Nobel Prize, Penzias and Wilson, this phenomenon is currently mapped by WMAP and COBE and it fits a blackbody spectrum at 2.7 Kelvin. For 10 points, this is what radiation permeating the entire universe, often regarded as a conclusive evidence for the Big Bang?
