ShareIn cosmology, the cosmic microwave background radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation discovered in 1965.
It has a thermal black-body spectrum which peaks in the microwave range.
Most cosmologists consider the cosmic microwave background radiation to be the best evidence for the hot big bang model of the universe.
