  2. Balloon popping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_popping

    Balloon skewer experiment. A pin or needle is frequently used to pop a balloon. [4] As the needle or pin creates a hole on the balloon surface, the balloon pops. However, if tape is placed on the part where the hole is created, the balloon will not pop since the tape helps reinforce the elastic tension in that area, preventing the edges of the hole pulling away from the center.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_(polarimeter)

    Spider is a balloon-borne experiment designed to search for primordial gravitational waves imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Measuring the strength of this signal puts limits on inflationary theory. The Spider experiment hanging from the launch vehicle prior to its first flight over Antarctica.

    A comparison of the sensitivity and resolution of WMAP with COBE and Penzias and Wilson's telescope, simulated data [1]. This list is a compilation of experiments measuring the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation anisotropies and polarization since the first detection of the CMB by Penzias and Wilson in 1964.
