3 History of the Universe Inflation: Universe expands by a factor of in only seconds. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons emitted (~ years) Image Courtesy WMAP Science Team Time
4 History of the Universe Inflation: Universe expands by a factor of in only seconds. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons emitted (~ years) First stars form (~500 million years) Image Courtesy WMAP Science Team Time
5 History of the Universe Inflation: Universe expands by a factor of in only seconds. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons emitted (~ years) First stars form (~500 million years) Structure Formation: Galaxies, Planets, etc. Image Courtesy WMAP Science Team Time
6 History of the Universe Inflation: Universe expands by a factor of in only seconds. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons emitted (~ years) First stars form (~500 million years) Structure Formation: Galaxies, Planets, etc. Today (~14 billion years) Image Courtesy WMAP Science Team Time
7 History of the Universe The CMB is a baby picture of the universe Image Courtesy WMAP Science Team Time
8 What can we learn from the CMB? How old is the universe? How did the universe begin? What is the universe made of? Have the contents changed over time? How did the large structures in our universe form? What is the geometry of space (e.g. flat, curved)? How will the universe evolve in the future? ESA Planck Collaboration
