Great linkage, Elija. I watched all the videos and read most of the text. Damn worthy missions, both of them. I believe we'll be hearing much about them in the future. The Planck mission I find especially exciting. As you may, or may not know, the rate of universal inflation is accelerating. I believe the Planck mission will, in the future, be seen as a pivotal mission.
I'm also curious to see what, if anything, Planck will tell us about the phenomenom known as 'the WMAP cold spot'. The WMAP cold spot is a void in the universe that is over one billion light-years across, and by all observations contains no matter. Not even dark matter. A puzzle for sure. If Planck only answered that one mystery, it would be a success. But I suspect it will answer far more than one mystery. And will likely pose as many as it answers.
