Planck will be the third spacecraft to investigate the CMB, after Nasa's COBE and WMAP satellites.
The ultimate test, however, would be to look for a special signal in the CMB referred to as B-Modes.
The CMB gives us clues as to how stars and galaxies might have evolved from that matter.
CMB, it is possible to deduce how far away they are, and thus how old the universe is.
Such expansion would stretch space and smooth matter, while leaving small density variations that show up in the CMB.
Theory predicts this event ought to be "imprinted" in the CMB and the detail should be retrievable with sufficiently sensitive instruments.
This is the CMB and it has a nearly uniform temperature across the entire sky: a very cold -270.45 deg Celsius.
What CMB has learned since the New York and Boston launches is in this younger crowd image is everything.

CMB, and the number of subatomic particles in the universe, suggest that for every billion mutual annihilations, a solitary particle of matter survived.
ECONOMIST: Particle physics makes sense, but it assumes too much
James Antos, a banking analyst at Mizuho Securities in Hong Kong, says CMB needs to do better in managing its cost of funding.

After the SF launch Kang said CMB is looking to expand to other larger cities in the U.S. like Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles.

They have produced highly accurate maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, which has its origins in the very early stages of the Universe.
San Francisco, known for its hipsters and trendy tech startups, was the obvious place for CMB to branch out to next, said Co-founder Arum Kang.

Another prediction of inflation is that the CMB should be gaussian.
By contrast, China Merchants Bank (CMB) is fairly nimble, with 800 branches and a strong presence in private banking and small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs).

In 2008 CMB became the first bank to obtain a license to operate in New York since Bank of China entered the market in 1981.

Already CMB has about 1, 000 users signed up in SF before the launch, much of which Kang said has come from word of mouth and social media buzz.

What really works for CMB in terms of young people who might be wary of online dating, is that potential dates come through Facebook connections they already trust.

He said CMB would pursue this process ambitiously but cautiously.
But by mapping the tiniest of temperature fluctuations in the CMB, first done by the Cobe satellite in 1991, astronomers can "see" the distribution of matter in the early Universe.
Users have nothing to lose from picking up CMB.

Scientists refer to this as the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe Effect and a corresponding "warm spot" in the CMB associated with an area of space dominated by a supercluster of galaxies was identified some years ago.

The analysis of the CMB data, released last Thursday, indicates that only 15.5% of the Universe's matter is what we would call "normal" - that is, the atomic material from which planets, stars and galaxies are built.
BBC: Planck telescope: A map of all the 'stuff' in the cosmos
The CMB is the light that was finally allowed to spread out across space once the Universe had cooled sufficiently to permit the formation of hydrogen atoms - about 380, 000 years into the life of the cosmos.
One of the ways scientists study the CMB is by subjecting the warm and cold spots in the radiation to a detailed statistical analysis, examining the deviations in temperature as a function of their size on the sky - their angular scale.
The new map is a smart byproduct of the European Space Agency (Esa) telescope's main mission which is to survey the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB - a pervasive but faint glow of long-wavelength radiation that comes to us from the very edge of the observable Universe.
