Dipole moment
Charge q oscillating as y(t) produces the
same electric field as q/2 moving as y(t)
and –q/2 moving as –y(t)
The latter is an oscillating dipole

The Radio Milky Way
The image shows the Milky Way galaxy
as it would appear if we could see the
electromagnetic energy the hydrogen in
the galaxy emits in the Radio region,
specifically the 21-cm wavelength. This
image is computer generated from data
collected by various radio telescopes.

Microwave background fluctuation
cosmic microwave background fluctuations are extremely faint. The
cosmic microwave background radiation is a remnant of the Big Bang
and the fluctuations are the imprint of density contrast in the early
universe.

Accelerating charge gives rise to radiation
Sinusoidal motion of charge gives rise to electromagnetic
radiation gives rise to plane electromagnetic wave at a
large distance.
The direction of electric field, magnetic field and propagation
are mutually perpendicular to each other.
Electric and magnetic field are in phase.
