radiación cósmica de fondo
- The COBRA project is designed to search for anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) and, when found, to map their structure on several scales.
Examples
-
CMBR is that light, which comes from every direction, lowered in frequency by redshift 1000x (the universe has expanded 1000x as large since then).

The WIKI cmbr article mentions that there are many other theories; the 2700-year-old Buddhist theory is that it has always been here and goes on forever.

CMBR, for those that don't know, is the first direct observation we can make of the universe.

Both experiments were designed to measure the CMBR at smaller scales than the COBE satellite, which could only see structures as small as seven degrees across.
Academic text (1993) -
In my theory, the gravitational waves (scalar waves) are superluminal and they do manifest themselves like the CMBR noise.

We already know the CMBR noise exhibits the so-called dipole anisotropy, so that the cosmic rays may easily follow one direction preferentially.

One telescope detected variations in the CMBR of approximately forty parts per million on an angular scale of three degrees; the other telescope, with only a half-degree field of view, detected no variation down to a level of 15 parts per million.
Academic text (1993) -
As viewed by a telescope in one of those galaxies, we meet your criterion, but relative to the average of local matter as judged by the CMBR dipole anisotropy, we are only moving at 552 km/s.

The CMBR is crucial for understanding the origins of the universe as it provides evidence of the Big Bang.

Scientists are studying fluctuations in the CMBR to learn more about the early universe's conditions.

CMBR = C + M + B + R
CMBR is an initialism/acronym whose component letters are not productive English morphemes, so knowing the letters does not let a learner derive the meaning.
Etymology
The word CMBR stands for the four words cosmic, microwave, background, and radiation, where cosmic means 'of the universe', microwave means 'small radio waves' like a kitchen microwave, background means 'behind everything', and radiation means 'energy that spreads out'. So, the CMBR is the faint energy left over from the Big Bang that now fills the whole universe.
