Have you ever wondered what a newborn universe would have looked like and how it expanded, leading to the birth of a planet like Earth? The image wascreated by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite. The difference in temperature in the form of colour later transformed into “seeds” for galaxies.

The blue and purple shades depict minute temperature variations in the early universe. The temperature variation in the early universe is believed to have given rise to the structures that populate the universe today: clusters of galaxies, as well as vast, empty regions. The image was formed with inputs received by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE).
