EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the full sky microwave maps from 1990, offering a glimpse into the vastness and complexity of our universe. Constructed from preliminary data collected by NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) instrument, these all-sky microwave images reveal the cosmic background radiation - an echo of the Big Bang that gave birth to our Universe. The image is a testament to human curiosity and scientific discovery, representing years of research and technological advancements in astrophysics. Its vibrant colors depict various frequencies captured by DMR (Different Microwave Radiometers), providing valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies, stars, and other celestial bodies. As we gaze upon this map, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries of space. It serves as a reminder that even in our ever-changing world, there are phenomena that transcend time - like cosmic background radiation dating back billions of years. This photograph not only captures a moment in scientific history but also invites us to contemplate our place within this grand tapestry. It reminds us that while we may be small in comparison to the vastness above us, our capacity for exploration knows no bounds. Displayed proudly on any wall or gallery space, this print symbolizes both human ingenuity and our insatiable desire for knowledge about the origins of existence itself.
