ASTRONOMERS UNIVERSE THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BAC...

Rhodri Evans tells the story of what we know about the universe  from Jacobus Kapteyn's Island
universe at the turn of the 20th Century  and the discovery by Hubble that the nebulae were
external to our own galaxy  through Gamow's early work on the cosmic microwave background (CMB)
and its subsequent discovery by Penzias and Wilson  to modern day satellite-lead CMB research.
Research results from the ground-based experiments DASI  BOOMERANG  and satellite missions COBE
WMAP and Planck are explained and interpreted to show how our current picture of the universe
was arrived at  and the author looks at the future of CMB research and what we still need to
learn. This account is enlivened by Dr Rhodri Evans' personal connections to the characters and
places in the story.
