It follows logically from what we know about physics that the expansion of the universe from a hot and dense state should produce a remnant of microwave radiation. Reasoning from the Big Bang model (particularly the LCDM model), it is also possible to work out the intensity (temperature) of that radiation, and the nature, size and distribution of variations in that radiation. Detailed observations of the night sky have confirmed these predictions to a remarkable degree.
The cosmic background radiation refers to the faint radiation left over from the early stages of the universe, which was discovered and studied in the 1960s. It is considered a major piece of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory. This radiation is consistent with predictions made by the Big Bang theory and provides strong evidence that the universe was once in a highly dense and hot state.
Hubble's discovery in the 1920s of a relationship between a galaxy's distance from Earth and its speed; and the discovery in the 1960s of cosmic microwave background radiation.
The evidence of cosmic microwave background radiation supports the Big Bang theory.
It helped prove the big bang theory.
I didn't check the year... But the cosmic background radiation is said to support the big bang theory, because it agrees with the radiation that is expected from an expanding Universe.

Cosmic background radiation.
The 'big bang' theory.
The cosmic background radiation is believed to be the remains of the radiation emitted by the Universe when it started to get transparent - when it had cooled down to a temperature of about 3000 kelvin.
CMB is cosmic microwave background radiation. It is the radiation that is the basis for the Big Bang theory.
The Doppler effect and background cosmic radiation are the big ones.
