Summary[edit]

Description
English: Temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation spectrum as determined with the COBE satellite during the full four years of the Differential Microwave Radiometer (DMR) observation. The plane of the Milky Way Galaxy is horizontal across the middle of each picture.

This map shows the 53 GHz channel

  • (top) prior to dipole subtraction;
  • (middle) after dipole subtraction (due to the solar system movement);
  • (bottom) after subtraction of a model of the Galactic emission.
Date Data collected between 1990 and 1994.
Source
Author The COBE datasets were developed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center under the guidance of the COBE Science Working Group.
