Abstract

George Smoot (1945-2025) was a major figure in observational cosmology, particularly through his role in the precision measurement of the CMB dipole and the discovery of the primordial CMB temperature anisotropy as part of the COBE team. This collection of 33 essays from collaborators, colleagues, students, and friends offers varied insights into the work, career, and life of George Smoot.
