11-Feb-03 | New MAP of the universe
NASA has released the sharpest image of the “infant universe” captured to date, the result of a 12-month full-sky survey by MAP (Delta 286). Now known as the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, WMAP returned data some 35 times more detailed than those provided in 1992 by COBE (Delta 189). Thanks to these results, scientists now believe the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years. (NASA Press Release, 11-Feb-03)
