The Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope (CAT) was a pioneering astronomical instrument designed to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, which is the afterglow of the Big Bang. CAT was primarily developed and operated at the University of Pennsylvania and was notable for its efforts to measure the anisotropies (small fluctuations in temperature) in the CMB across the sky.
