starspirit discovered 22 months ago- This historic all-sky map is based on the first two years of data from NASA's COsmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, launched in November of 1989. The map shows minute temperature variations (red is hotter) imprinted on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation by structures in the early Universe. These detailed measurements of the CMB and other COBE results ushered in an age of precision cosmology, and exactly confirmed the predictions of the Big Bang theory. Playing leading roles in the COBE project, for their resulting discoveries John C. Mather (NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center), and George F. Smoot (UC Berkeley) were selected to receive the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Another great visualization... Don't you think that this kind of visualization is changing our ways of understanding reality? And if so what are the visual artists doing to integrate the substance of such scientific visualizations? Or perhaps is it so, as Duchamp was often saying, that visual artists "are being dumb as artists" meaning that they most often don't have the knowledge that would allow them to give substance to their visual works relegating them to formal tricks... and irrelevance.
