Measurements of the characteristic size and amplitude of sub-degree anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background provide powerful constraints on models of formation and evolution of structure in the universe. BOOMERANG is a balloon-borne millimeter wave telescope and receiver designed to map anisotropies in the CMB with 10 arcminute resolution. The bolometric receiver has 16 channels at four frequencies:90, 150, 240, and 400 GHz. Launched on December 28, 1998, BOOMERANG made a 10.5 day circumnavigation of the Antarctic at 120,000 feet, where it mapped approximately 1500 square degrees of the sky. Here I report preliminary results from this flight.
