Anisotropy is also used to describe situations where properties vary systematically, dependent on direction.

Anisotropy of liquid crystals is a property not observed in other fluids.

The recent Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) measurements have led NASA to state, " We now know that the universe is flat with only a 0. 5 % margin of error.

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) – also known as the Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( MAP ), and Explorer 80 – is a spacecraft which measures differences in the temperature of the Big Bang's remnant radiant heat – the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation – across the full sky.

Anisotropy is measured in several ways.

It is flanked to the northwest by the Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope enclosure and to the south by the One-Mile and Half-Mile Telescopes

* The Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy ( AMiBA ) is a radio telescope array designed to observe the cosmic microwave background and the Sunyaev-Zel ' dovich effect.

This leads to the fractional Anisotropy or FA which is the square root of the sum of squares ( SRSS ) of the diffusivity differences, divided by the SRSS of the diffusivities.

* Microwave Anisotropy Probe, an unmanned NASA space mission, which studies cosmic microwave background radiation ; later renamed to Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP )

He made fundamental contributions to many major CMB experiments, including two NASA satellites, the Cosmic Background Explorer ( COBE ) and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ), which was named in his honor after his death due to cancer.

The mission will complement and improve upon observations made by the NASA Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ), which has measured the anisotropies at larger angular scales and lower sensitivity than Planck.

Anisotropy measurements reveal the average angular displacement of the fluorophore that occurs between absorption and subsequent emission of a photon.

Results from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) appear to run counter to Copernican expectations.

More recently, the question has changed: Precision observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) give an independent value for the baryon-to-photon ratio.

* the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe mapped the cosmic microwave background radiation in 5 different frequency bands, centered on 23 GHz, 33 GHz, 41 GHs, 61 GHz, and 94 GHz.

* 1995-The Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope performs the first high resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background.

* 2001-- Success-Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) performs cosmological observations.

Analysis of data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) looks for multiple " back-to-back " images of the distant universe in the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Anisotropy can be seen in many composites as well.

Other missions such as the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe WMAP study the structure and evolution of the universe.

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe allowed that comparison to be made.

Jackson received his Ph. D. in 1982 with the thesis titled " The Anisotropy of the Hubble Constant ".

The uncertainty range of 0. 11 billion years has been obtained by the agreement of a number of scientific research projects, such as microwave background radiation measurements by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and other probes.

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) was instrumental in establishing an accurate age of the universe, though other measurements must be folded in to gain an accurate number.

NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) project's seven-year data release in 2010 estimated the age of the universe to be years ( 13. 75 billion years old, with an uncertainty of plus or minus 110 million years ).
