Left: 'The Cosmic Microwave Background sky over Mt. Erebus'. In this fanciful picture, the CMB sky looms behind the pre-launch preparations of BOOMERANG. The BOOMERANG images of the early universe have been overlaid onto the sky to indicate the size that the fluctuations would appear if a standard 35 mm camera were sensitive to microwave light. The color map of the CMB images has been changed here to aesthetically match the rest of the picture.
