A little historical perspective for the Australian media and assorted journalists still hyperventilating over the third week of March 2013.
The Universe when it was only into the 380,000 year of its estimated 14 billion years of age to date.
ESA and the Planck Collaboration
Description
The anisotropies of the Cosmic microwave background (CMB) as observed by Planck. The CMB is a snapshot of the oldest light in our Universe, imprinted on the sky when the Universe was just 380 000 years old. It shows tiny temperature fluctuations that correspond to regions of slightly different densities, representing the seeds of all future structure: the stars and galaxies of today
