What Does COBE Stand For?
COBE stands for Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite NASA
The Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite (COBE) was a NASA mission launched in 1989 that played a pivotal role in our understanding of the universe's early conditions. Its primary objective was to measure the cosmic microwave background radiation, providing critical data on the universe's formation and evolution. COBE's findings, including the detection of fluctuations in temperature, supported the Big Bang theory and contributed to the development of cosmology as a scientific discipline. Its groundbreaking research earned the mission the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics.
