Context triple: [Cosmic Background Explorer, instrument, Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment]
  • A. COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment
    The COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment was a space-based instrument that precisely measured tiny temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background, providing key evidence for the Big Bang theory and the large-scale structure of the universe.
  • B. Infrared Astronomical Satellite
    The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was a pioneering space telescope launched in 1983 that conducted the first-ever all-sky survey at infrared wavelengths, dramatically expanding knowledge of stars, galaxies, and cosmic dust.
  • C. Infrared Space Observatory
    The Infrared Space Observatory was a European Space Agency satellite launched in 1995 that conducted pioneering astronomical observations in the infrared spectrum, greatly advancing the study of cool and dust-obscured objects in the universe.
  • D. Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
    The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is a NASA space telescope that conducted an all-sky survey in infrared light, discovering hundreds of millions of objects including asteroids, brown dwarfs, and distant galaxies.
  • E. Cosmic Background Explorer
    The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) was a NASA satellite mission that made precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, providing key evidence for the Big Bang theory and earning its scientists the Nobel Prize in Physics.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
