Is cobe a word?

The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), also referred to as Explorer 66, was a satellite dedicated to cosmology. Its goals were to investigate the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) of the universe and provide measurements that would help shape our understanding of the cosmos.


How high is the Cobe satillite?

The COsmic Background Explorer (COBE), also referred to as Explorer 66, was a satellite dedicated to cosmology.It's orbit height 900.2 km

How does the evidence of the wmap and COBE support the big bang theory?

The work provided even more additional evidence to support the Big Bang theory of the universe.It was also regarded as the starting point for cosmologyas a precision science.


What did the COBE satellite find that suggests that the big bang explosion occurred?

The CoBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) proved, beyond any doubt, that the spectrum of the CMBR is that of a black-body of temperature 2.7K -- some researchers were finding slight differences from this. The VERY minor anisotropies (about one part in 10,000) found in the CMBR are consistent with matter clumping in the early Universe, just enough to produce galaxies. Note that WMAP and the Planck Probe have done even more precise measurements, and continued to get results consistent with CoBE.
