Just when you thought you'd seen the coolest space pictures ever, Saturn comes along and steals the show. As Phil Plait puts it:

Just as railroads made the country smaller, airplanes made the world smaller. You never think twice about it, but if it wasn't for the humble "moving sidewalk", airports would have a hard time moving the numbers of people that they move now.

The first results from COBE were announced at the 1990 American Astronomical Society meeting. When a plot showing the CMB radiation was displayed, it got a standing ovation.

It was a piece of history!
