"Planck's main task is to study the echoes of the Big Bang; the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) radiation. It builds on the successes of COBE
and WMAP that have gone before but covers a much bigger range of
frequencies (30-857 GHz) and will ultimately be more sensitive. The
range of frequencies is very important as it helps to disentangle the
many sources of microwave radiation in the Universe that detract from
the cosmological signal that Planck is trying to observe."

This is a historic mission.
it will bring the essential data that give
rise to all of what we see today.
i've been waiting for a very long time for this one.
