Description: Spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background
The little squares on this graph are COBE’s measurements of the brightness of
the cosmic microwave background plotted against wavelength. To a remarkably
high degree of accuracy, the data fall along a blackbody curve for 2.73 K. The
peak of the curve is at a wavelength of 1.1 mm, in accordance with Wien’s law.
