Tha assumption that the cosmic background fluctuations can be approximated as a random Gaussian field implies specific predictions for the radiation temperature pattern. Using this assumption, the abundances and angular sizes are calculated for regions of various levels of brightness expected to appear in the sky. Different observational strategies are assessed in the context of these results. Calculations for both large-angle and small-angle anisotropy generated by scale-invariant fluctuations in a flat universe are presented. Also discussed are simple generalizations to open cosmological models.
