Saskatoon experiment
Encyclopedia
Saskatoon was an experiment to measure the anisotropy
(directional dependence) of the cosmic microwave background at angular scales of 60 < l < 360. It was named for Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, where the experiment took place, and occurred in the winters of 1993 to 1995.
Anisotropy
Anisotropy is the property of being directionally dependent, as opposed to isotropy, which implies identical properties in all directions. It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material's physical or mechanical properties An example of anisotropy is the light...
