Description
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is one of the main pillars of
modern Cosmology. Soon after its discovery in 1965, it was recognized as
evidence of cosmic evolution, and that our Universe went, at some time
in the past, through a very hot phase where matter and radiation were in
very intense interaction. Here, I briefly review the history of the CMB
research, since its discovery until the very recent results, focusing on
the implications for our understanding of cosmology. Finally, I outline
some of the important results that are expected to come from CMB
research in the next decade.
