- Abstract
The article talks about the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, a satellite that was launched to study the patterns in the radiation known as cosmic microwave background. These patterns hold clues to structure, history and composition of atoms in the universe. Charles Bennet, WMAP's principal investigator said that their observations are day-to-day details. The satellite proved further that the universe was dominated by things not directly observable like dark matter and dark energy.
