MatherBroader topic: Mather was the project scientist and principal investigator for its Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer.Robert Woodrow WilsonBroader topic: Its precise measurements confirmed the radiation’s thermal spectrum and extended Wilson’s discovery.Arno Allan PenziasBroader topic: COBE later confirmed the background’s near-perfect blackbody spectrum with high precision.Discovery of cosmic microwave background radiationBroader topic: Its measurements confirmed the relic interpretation and revealed small primordial anisotropies.Jim PeeblesBroader topic: Its precise measurements tested predictions about the background’s blackbody spectrum and anisotropy.
