Description
Artwork showing the Planck space observatory scanning the sky. The circle observed by the instruments sweeps through the sky at a rate of 1¼ per day, and two complete surveys of the sky will be made over a 15 month period. Launched in 2009, Planck is surveying the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), radiation left over from the big bang.
