Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe<br />
Eisenstein <strong>and</strong> Bennett, <strong>Physics</strong> Today, April 2008<br />
Pressure map <strong>of</strong> sound<br />
field at Recombination<br />
Average microwave<br />
background: T~2.725K<br />
with small variations.<br />
Power spectrum versus<br />
angular size in the sky<br />
shows harmonic peaks.<br />
First peak (480 Mly -<br />
acoustic scale)<br />
corresponds to distance<br />
a sound wave traveled<br />
during inflation.<br />
