Virtual reality visualisations of CMB science

CMB temperature anisotropies as measured by the Planck satellite

Planck observations at 30 GHz tracing the synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons in our own galaxy

Estimation using the GNILC algorithm on Planck observations at 353 GHz tracing emission from interstellar dust in our galaxy

Infrared emissions as measured by the WISE satellite at a wavelength of 12 microns

Integrated Sachs-Wolfe contribution to the CMB anisotropies from the time-evolution of the matter over- and under-densities along the path of the CMB light while the Universe is dominated by Dark Energy. Obtained by the Planck collaboration.

Radio continuum emission at 403 MHz from Haslam et al., re-processed by Remazeilles et al.

Map of the energy boost of CMB photons caused by their scattering off of hot electrons in galaxy clusters -- the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect -- as observed by Planck.

CIB maps obtained by applying the GNILc algorithm to Planck 353 GHz data. This map shows the emission from dusty, star-forming galaxies at early times (mostly at redshifts 2-3).
