Generation

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is thermal radiation at 2.725 Kelvin uniformly filling the universe, originating from approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang when the universe cooled enough for atoms to form and photons to travel freely. It matters because it provides the most direct observational evidence for the Big Bang theory and preserves a snapshot of the early universe's conditions, including tiny temperature fluctuations that seeded all cosmic structure we see today—galaxies, stars, and planets.
