Hi
I remember being told about the Cosmic Microwave Background stuff as if it were cut-and-dried proof of the Big Bang. Maybe not so, I guess.
I'm also a bit perturbed to find out that that's who Hubble was. I thought he was about 200 years earlier, and the guy who'd found out that the distances of the planets from the sun were in a harmonic series. Who was that, then?

Kepler had a model of the spacing of the planets but the one most people learn in introductory astronomy is Bode's law named after Johann E. Bode.
