Mission Complete! WMAP In 'Graveyard Orbit'
astroengine writes "The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has, quite literally, changed our view of the Universe. And after nine years of mapping the slight temperature variations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, its job is done and NASA has commanded the probe to fire itself into a 'graveyard orbit' around the sun. WMAP measured the most precise age of the universe (13.75 billion years), discovered more evidence supporting dark energy and dark matter theories, and found one or two mysteries along the way."
Daddy just paid your tuition and your airfare from Pennsylvania, you fuckin' transplant trust-fund kid. Get the fuck out, or the real Californians will throw you out.
Yet another transplant has been rejected. 1 aspiring Pennsylvanian ska-bandmember down, 3 million more braiwashed Bostonian Catholics and flat-witted Michiganers left to throw out.
That's why these guys are rocket scientists and you're sitting at home reading about their greatness while listening or dancing to Justin Beiber
