Default NASA - NASA Satellite Glimpses Universe's First Trillionth of a Second

"Scientists peering back to the oldest light in the universe have new evidence to
support the concept of inflation. The concept poses the universe expanded many
trillion times its size in less than a trillionth of a second at the outset of the
big bang.

This finding, made with NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), is based
on three years of continuous observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB),
the afterglow light produced when the universe was less than a million years old. "
