The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), originally known as the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) was a spacecraft operating from 2001 to 2010 which measured differences across the sky in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – the radiant heat remaining from the Big Bang.Headed by Professor Charles L. Bennett of Johns Hopkins University, the mission was developed in a joint partnership between the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Princeton University. The WMAP spacecraft was launched on June 30, 2001 from Florida. The WMAP mission succeeded the COBE space mission and was the second medium-class (MIDEX) spacecraft in the NASA Explorers program. In 2003, MAP was renamed WMAP in honor of cosmologist David Todd Wilkinson (1935–2002), who had been a member of the mission's science team. After 9 years of operations, WMAP was switched off in 2010, following the launch of the more advanced Planck spacecraft by ESA in 2009.
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the thermal radiation left over from the time of recombination in Big Bang cosmology. In older literature, the CMB is also variously known as cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) or "relic radiation." The CMB is a cosmic background radiation that is fundamental to observational cosmology because it is the oldest light in the universe, dating to the epoch of recombination. With a traditional optical telescope, the space between stars and galaxies (the background) is completely dark. However, a sufficiently sensitive radio telescope shows a faint background glow, almost isotropic, that is not associated with any star, galaxy, or other object. This glow is strongest in the microwave region of the radio spectrum. The accidental discovery of CMB in 1964 by American radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson was the culmination of work initiated in the 1940s, and earned the discoverers the 1978 Nobel Prize.
The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. The model accounts for the fact that the universe expanded from a very high density and high temperature state, and offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of phenomena, including the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure and Hubble's Law. If the known laws of physics are extrapolated beyond where they are valid, there is a singularity. Modern measurements place this moment at approximately 13.8 billion years ago, which is thus considered the age of the universe. After the initial expansion, the universe cooled sufficiently to allow the formation of subatomic particles, and later simple atoms. Giant clouds of these primordial elements later coalesced through gravity to form stars and galaxies.
Johns Hopkins (May 19, 1795 – December 24, 1873) was an American entrepreneur, abolitionist and philanthropist of 19th-century Baltimore, Maryland.
His bequests founded numerous institutions bearing his name, most notably Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Johns Hopkins University (including its academic divisions such as Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health).
A biography entitled Johns Hopkins: A Silhouette written by his cousin, Helen Hopkins Thom, was published in 1929 by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
Johns Hopkins was born on May 19, 1795. He was one of eleven children born to Samuel Hopkins (1759–1814) of Crofton, Maryland, and Hannah Janney (1774–1864), of Loudoun County, Virginia. His home was Whitehall, a 500-acre (two km²) tobacco plantation in Anne Arundel County. His first name was inherited from his grandfather Johns Hopkins who received his first name when his mother Margaret Johns married Gerard Hopkins.
On June 20, 2012, Dr. Charles Bennett and the WMAP team were awarded the Gruber Cosmology Prize. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) was built and launched by NASA to measure a remnant of the early universe - its oldest light. The conditions of the early times are imprinted on this light. It is the result of what happened earlier, and a backlight for the later development of the universe. This light lost energy as the universe expanded over 13.7 billion years, so WMAP now sees the light as microwaves. By making accurate measurements of microwave patterns, WMAP has answered many longstanding questions about the universe's age, composition and development. This video from Goddard's tape archive features Dr. Bennett after the first results were announced in 2003. This video i...
Johns Hopkins University astrophysicist Charles L. Bennett and members of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) space mission that he led will be presented with the Gruber Foundation's 2012 Cosmology Prize on August 21 in Beijing, China. Bennett and the 26-member team are being recognized by the foundation for their transformative study of an ancient light dating back to the infant universe. So accurate and precise are WMAP's results that they form the foundation of the Standard Cosmological Model.

WIRE The Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) was a small satellite carrying a cryogenically cooled infrared telescope designed to study starburst galaxies—vast clouds of molecular gas cradling the sites of newborn stars. Developed under NASA's Small Explorer Program, WIRE was intended to have a four month primary mission. WIRE was launched on a three-stage Pegasus XL vehicle released from an L-1011 aircraft over the Pacific Ocean after takeoff from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base on March 4, 1999. The satellite was successfully placed in orbit around Earth at an altitude of 540 kilometers (about 335 miles). The mission failed soon after launch when the cover on the telescope/cryostat ejected prematurely. Uncontrolled heating of the cryostat caused the solid hydrogen cryogen to be...

Science Documentary: Cosmic Microwave Background, a science documentary about the oldest light in the universe The Universe came into existence between 13.7 to 13.8 billion years ago. The WMAP, or the Wilkinson Microwave Anistrophy Probe, provides a glimpse of the way the universe appeared about 380,000 years after the big bang. The WMAP allows us to see the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, or CMB. The Cosmic Microwave Background is the radiation left over from the big bang and is detectable in any direction in the sky. It is the oldest light in the universe, and discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation is the best evidence that the universe formed from the big bang.
Take a trip through space and time to put "earliest light" in perspective. Pulling back from the WMAP spacecraft in orbit at L2, we see that we are but a tiny speck in our Milky Way Galaxy. As the journey continues, we see that the Milky Way is but a tiny speck in the Universe as we pass quasars that were some of the early brightest structures that we can detect with conventional instruments. Finally we arrive at the beginning of time as we understand it. The super heated, roiling ionized hydrogen gas of a universe newly made glows throughout the universe. The energy from sonically condensed and rarified ripples in this gas, released as it cooled to 3000° kelvin, is the basis for the data collected by WMAP. credit: NASA / WMAP Science Team source: http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/me...

Title: The 5-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Cosmological Interpretation Speaker: Eiichiro Komatsu (U. Texas at Austin) Date: 2008-03-13 Slides: http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/presentations/52.pdf
Talk given on 29th January 2014 at Oxford University. (Oxford University Scientific Society) Abstract: In 2005 I proposed the unconventional scheme of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC). This takes what is currently regarded as the entire history of the universe, from its Big-Bang origin (with no inflationary phase) to its final exponential expansion, to be but one aeon of a continual succession of such aeons. The big bang of each is taken to be an infinitely scaled down continuation of the exponentially expanding remote future of the previous one. A positive cosmological constant (dark energy) and some primordial scalar material (dark matter) are both essential to CCC's consistency. Supermassive black-hole encounters in the aeon previous to ours would have observational implications for C...
Eric Twiggs inspires us to "unleash your innate potential to succeed" - video upload powered by https://www.TunesToTube.com
The universe has long captivated us with its immense scales of distance and time. How far does it stretch? Where does it end, and what lies beyond its star fields and streams of galaxies extending as far as telescopes can see? These questions are beginning to yield to a series of extraordinary new lines of investigation and technologies that are letting us to peer into the most distant realms of the cosmos. But also at the behavior of matter and energy on the smallest of scales. Remarkably, our growing understanding of this kingdom of the ultra-tiny, inside the nuclei of atoms, permits us to glimpse the largest vistas of space and time. In ancient times, most observers saw the stars as a sphere surrounding the earth, often the home of deities. The Greeks were the first to see celestial e...

Frontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160) Reasons for the expansion of the universe are addressed at the start of this lecture, focusing especially on the acceleration of dark energy. Supernovae were the first evidence for the existence of dark energy. Two other proofs are presented. The first is the Cosmic Microwave Background, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is perfectly smooth and equal in all directions. It firmly supports the Big Bang theory. Projects attempting to measure it, such as COBE and WMAP, are discussed. Secondly, Large-Scale Clustering is introduced: by measuring the degree of clustering, astronomers hope to advance their understanding of dark energy and dark matter. Computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are shown. 00:00 - Ch...
Fifty years ago, in the spring of 1965, Prof. Robert Dicke at Princeton University recognized that the unexplained noise in an experimental Bell Telephone Laboratories communications receiver might be caused by radiation left from a hot early stage of our expanding universe. Months earlier Dicke had set Jim Peebles to the task of seeking the theoretical implications of such an interpretation. At the same time, he proposed that two other young members of his research group, experimentalists Peter Roll and David Wilkinson, build a specially designed, microwave radiometer to look for remnant radiation that might be observable, thereby indicating the existence of a hot Big Bang. The serendipitous discovery by the Bell scientists, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, put the Princeton group’s proj...
