The Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array (MAXIMA) is a scientific experiment aimed at studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which is the remnant glow from the Big Bang. MAXIMA was designed to measure anisotropies, or small variations in temperature, in the CMB across the sky.
