The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, also known as WMAP, is designed to make fundamental measurements of cosmology, the study of the properties of our universe as a whole. The spacecraft reveals conditions as they existed in the early universe by measuring the properties of the cosmic microwave background radiation over the full sky.
WMAPs data helped produce a new standard model of the properties of our universe. It pinpointed the age of our universe at 13.73 billion years old to within 1 percent and captured an image of the afterglow of the Big Bang

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), a spacecraft designed to unravel the mysteries of our universe. With its advanced technology and meticulous research, WMAP has revolutionized our understanding of cosmology, enabling us to study the evolution and properties of our vast universe. The image depicts WMAP shining brightly in orbit, surrounded by stars, planets, and the moon. Its solar panels glisten as it tirelessly analyzes cosmic microwave background radiation across the entire sky. This afterglow from the Big Bang provides crucial insights into conditions that existed in the early universe. Through its pioneering analysis, WMAP has contributed significantly to creating a new standard model for our cosmos. It accurately determined that our universe is approximately 13.73 billion years old with an impressive precision of within 1 percent. This digitally generated illustration captures both the scientific marvels and awe-inspiring beauty of space exploration. The absence of people emphasizes how this endeavor transcends individual boundaries and unites humanity's quest for knowledge about our origins. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Stocktrek Images, we are reminded of mankind's insatiable curiosity and determination to uncover secrets hidden within the vast expanse beyond Earth's atmosphere. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe stands as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a guiding light on humanity's journey towards unlocking the profound truths that lie within our magnificent universe.
