Planck telescope reveals ancient cosmic light

The picture is the first full-sky image from Europe's Planck telescope which was sent into space last year to survey the "oldest light" in the cosmos.
It took the 600m-euro observatory just over six months to assemble the map.
It shows what is visible beyond the Earth to instruments that are sensitive to light at very long wavelengths - much longer than what we can sense with our eyes.

It's beautiful.

Re: Planck telescope reveals ancient cosmic light

Indeed it is. Things like this get me thinking too much though because before it all what was there? Causes my head to hurt so I'll carry on thinking the world is flat and theres nothing out there :)
