Abstract:
Abstract Last year were published the results from three projects (BOOMERANG, DASI and MAXIMA) dealing with the observation of the temperature anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was a real breakthrough for cosmology since these data established a new level in understanding the Universe. Here we present a review of the main results obtained by the projects mentioned above, emphasizing their significance to the nowadays status of cosmology. In this respect, we report on the increasing evidences for an inflationary period in the very early stages after the Big Bang, we discuss at large the values of the cosmological parameters and we acknowledge the picture of the Universe as it appears from the CMB data.
