The Cosmic Microwave Background provides a snapshot of the universe when it was 1000 times smaller and hotter than it is today. The first resolved images of this epoch were captured by BOOMERANG, a balloon-borne microwave telescope that circumnavigated the Antarctic in early 1999. These images reveal an intricate pattern of temperature variations from which one can deduce the curvature of the universe and many of the other parameters of Big Bang cosmology. BOOMERANG is just one of many experiments that will transform cosmology into a precision science in the coming decade.
