AbstractCrucial cosmological information is provided by the observed angular distribution (isotropy) of the cosmic microwave background radiation. This report treats the current status of searches for anisotroples in this radiation on all angular scales from 180° (the dipole component) to 6″. With the exception of the dipole component, only upper limits (at ~ 10-4 in ΔT/T) are available, yet these upper limits have played an important role in refining models of the early Universe and of the origin of structure within it.

I review the assumptions and observations that motivate the concept of the extragalactic cosmic background radiation, and the issues of energy accounts and star formation history as a function of galaxy morphological type that figure in the interpretation of the measurements of the extragalactic infrared background.
