Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. A race is underway to understand our universe through background radiation produced during its infancy. Cosmology theorists are submitting a flurry of papers in an effort to explain the latest results . These balloon CMB measurements appear to imply a universe consistent geometrically with familiar Euclidean axioms , but perhaps complex in unforeseen ways . Later this year NASA plans to launch the MAP satellite that will study the CMB in greater detail and may determine the geometry of composition of our universe definitively.
