The BOOMERanG experiment, which stands for "Balloon Observations of Millimeter Astrophysics for the Next Generation," was an astronomical experiment launched to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, which is the afterglow of the Big Bang. Specifically, it focused on measuring the anisotropies (tiny temperature fluctuations) in the CMB across different angular scales.
