Angular fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation are indicators of the seed structure at recombination (z ≅ 1000) which subsequently evolves into the present-day Universe (z = 0). Such measurements provide stringent tests of the cosmological theories of universal evolution and have implications for allowed values of the density and composition of matter in the Universe.
