All-sky map from the COBE satellite showing the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). Redshifted (cooler) and blueshifted (hotter) areas reveal the Local Group's 600 km/s movement relative to the CMBR. This unexpected speed highlights the mysteries of our universe's motion. The colors represent temperature variations in the CMBR.
