Our Cosmos: news from the oldest light — •Torsten Enßlin for the Planck collaboration — MPI für Astrophysik, Garching, Deutschland

The oldest light in the Universe, the cosmic microwave background, carries information on all cosmic epochs, from the inflationary phase fractions of a second after the Big Bang, through the radiation, matter, and Dark Energy dominated early, intermediate, and late times of the Cosmos, until today. The Planck Mission has measured this light with unprecedented precision in intensity and polarization. This talk focuses on the cosmological and astrophysical results from the most recent analysis of the Planck data.
