The creation of the Universe, originally postulated by a Catholic Priest as the Primordial Atom and nicknamed Big Bang by Dr. Fred Hoyle around 1950.
The background radition, itself, was discovered by Bell Labs scientists in the 1960s when pointing a radio telescope device into deep space they kept getting a 3 degree Kevlin reading where they expected to find nothing.

The Look-At-The-Damn-Questions!
Well, for a trivia question, the Big Bang.
Not that that is technically correct - the "cosmic background radiation" is not from the Big Bang itself, but from the universe at an age of about 300,000 - 400,000 years (depending on whose calculations you go by).
Before then, the matter of the universe was ionized and photons would be constantly scattered; at that time, the universe cooled down enough for matter to become neutral (recombination) and thus transparent to photons; matter and radiation "decoupled".

Big Bang
--------------
According to Krauss, since Edwin Hubble advanced his expanding universe observations in 1929, the "pillars of the modern Big Bang" have been built on measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation from the afterglow of the early universe formation, movement of galaxies away from the Local Group and evidence of the abundance of elements produced in the primordial universe, as well as theoretical inferences based on Einstein's General Relativity Theory.
