Scientific paper

The use of astrophysical sources in providing an understanding of the total energy density of the background is reviewed. The need of a thermalizing agent is stressed. The nearer such an agent comes to establishing thermodynamic equilibrium, the smoother the background becomes. This is shown to be true despite irregularities in the distribution of the thermalizer. The ejection of iron whiskers from galaxies and the ways in which such whiskers could affect the microwave background are discussed.
