CMB Dipole: Speeding Through the Universe
Our Earth is constantly moving. It orbits the Sun, the Sun orbits the Milky Way, and our galaxy moves within the Local Group. All these objects, however, move together even faster relative to the cosmic microwave background radiation. This 1993 COBE satellite map shows microwave light in our direction of motion as bluer, indicating our speed through the universe.
