COSMIC MESSAGE

Scientists are racing to understand the early universe by studying the cosmic microwave background radiation. Experiments like BOOMERANG, shown here, use balloons to get above much of Earth's atmosphere. These missions aim to make definitive measurements of the CMB's characteristics before future space-based satellites.
