The cosmic background radiation is considered by science to be elegant proof of a model of the universe which was once dense and hot and filled with a uniform glow. Expansion of the universe would cause the wavelength of this light to increase (in other words, the energy of the photons to decrease) to the level seen today, which peaks in the microwave region of the spectrum. The fact that this detectable "afterglow" does not have a specific source and seems fairly uniform in all directions also supports this model. Since these observations seem consistent with the Big Bang, this tends to support its position as the leading scientific theory of the origin of the universe.

What is the leftover thermal energy from the big bang?

The radiation left over from the big bang is found in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. As the universe expanded and cooled, the intense hard gamma radiation that existed became radio waves in the low gigahertz region, characteristic of a temperature around 30 Kelvin.
