The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is the oldest photon radiation that can be observed, having been emitted when the Universe was about 300,000 year old. It is a blackbody at 2.73 K, and is almost perfectly isotropic, the anisotropies being about one part to 100,000. However, these anisotropi...
