  • A. COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment
    The COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment was a space-based instrument that precisely measured tiny temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background, providing key evidence for the Big Bang theory and the large-scale structure of the universe.
  • B. Cosmic Background Explorer
    The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) was a NASA satellite mission that made precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, providing key evidence for the Big Bang theory and earning its scientists the Nobel Prize in Physics.
  • C. Infrared Astronomical Satellite
    The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was a pioneering space telescope launched in 1983 that conducted the first-ever all-sky survey at infrared wavelengths, dramatically expanding knowledge of stars, galaxies, and cosmic dust.
  • D. Infrared Space Observatory
    The Infrared Space Observatory was a European Space Agency satellite launched in 1995 that conducted pioneering astronomical observations in the infrared spectrum, greatly advancing the study of cool and dust-obscured objects in the universe.
  • E. International Ultraviolet Explorer
    The International Ultraviolet Explorer was a space telescope launched in 1978 that provided pioneering ultraviolet observations of astronomical objects for nearly two decades.
