Today is an exciting day: the WMAP collaboration (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) has “released its three year data and data analysis”:http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/map/current/map_bibliography.cfm. I’ve just started looking through their results, but there is no doubt the precision cosmology they were able to do three years ago is even more exciting now! Recall that last time they released results, they became the the conclusive, precision evidence that the universe is indeed dominated by dark matter and dark energy, and not the normal matter we know so much about. That was a revolution in our thinking about this universe.
