Background radiation is largely homogeneous and isotropic. A slight detectable anisotropy is present which correlates to galaxy filaments and voids. [2] [3] The discovery (by chance in 1965) of the cosmic background radiation suggests that the early universe was dominated by a radiation field, a field of extremely high temperature and pressure.

Displayed background gamma radiation level is 9.8 μR/h (0.82 mSv/a) This is very close to the world average background radiation of 0.87 mSv/a from cosmic and terrestrial sources. Cloud chambers used by early researchers first detected cosmic rays and other background radiation. They can be used to visualize the background radiation
The mean ISW imprint 50 supervoids have on the Cosmic Microwave Background: [9] [clarification needed] color scale from -20 to +20 μK.. One possible explanation of the cold spot is a huge void between us and the primordial CMB.
SpaceX’s space internet network already has more than 4,000 satellites Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites are leaking radiation that harms deep space astronomy, study warns Skip to main content
Cosmic noise, also known as galactic radio noise, is a physical phenomenon derived from outside of the Earth's atmosphere.It is not actually sound, and it can be detected through a radio receiver, which is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information given by them to an audible form.
The power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature anisotropy in terms of the angular scale (or multipole moment). The data shown comes from the WMAP (2006), Acbar (2004) Boomerang (2005), CBI (2004), and VSA (2004) instruments. Also shown is a theoretical model (solid line).
The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE / ˈ k oʊ b i / KOH-bee), also referred to as Explorer 66, was a NASA satellite dedicated to cosmology, which operated from 1989 to 1993.Its goals were to investigate the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB or CMBR) of the universe and provide measurements that would help shape the understanding of the cosmos.
The diffuse extragalactic background light (EBL) is all the accumulated radiation in the universe due to star formation processes, plus a contribution from active galactic nuclei (AGNs). [1] This radiation covers almost all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum , except the microwave, which is dominated by the primordial cosmic microwave ...
