COSMIC MESSAGE

In 2003, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) refined our understanding of the universe's age. This satellite collected data on the cosmic microwave background, the afterglow of the Big Bang. WMAP's measurements helped scientists determine the universe is 13.7 billion years old, a significant improvement in precision.
