Scientific results from the cosmic background explorer (COBE)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background is that of a black body of temperature T = 2.73 ± 0.06 K, with no deviation from a black-body spectrum greater than 0.25% of the peak brightness.

Early results from the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE)

TL;DR: The Cosmic Background Explorer (CBE) has nearly completed its first full mapping of the sky with all three of its instruments: a Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) covering 0.1 to 10 mm, a set of Differential Microwave Radiometers (DMR) operating at 3.3, 5.7, and 9.6 mm, and a Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) spanning 1 to 300 μm in ten bands as discussed by the authors.

Update on the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)

TL;DR: The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is a NASA MIDEX mission that will survey the entire sky in four bands from 3.3 to 23 microns with a sensitivity 1000 times greater than the IRAS survey.
