The results look really good when comparing them to COBE. But there are a few things I don't understand.

An animation shows how they used a cooler area to identify a cluster of newly forming stars and determined that these formed 200 million years after the Big Bang. How can they use the data to determine that?

The idea of discovering that the universe is at critical density is pretty darn cool, but how did they work that out?
