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."
