The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is basically the universe's baby photos! In 1978, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson won the Nobel Prize for accidentally discovering this primordial radiation while trying to fix a pesky "noise" in their radio antenna. They thought it was bird poop causing the interference (seriously), but SURPRISE—it was actually the 13.8-billion-year-old leftover heat from the Big Bang! Talk about the ultimate photobomb of the cosmos! Their accidental discovery provided the smoking gun evidence that the universe began with a bang rather than existing forever. Greatest scientific "oops" in history!
