COBE Hotspots: The Oldest Structures Known
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
These two microwave images from NASA's COBE satellite show 'spots' after processing. These spots are the oldest known structures, probably the oldest humanity will ever know. They are also the most distant. As the universe expanded and cooled, these spots formed as some of the first conglomerations of mass.
