We review the major advance in cosmology due to the detection of polarization in the cosmic background radiation by DASI and WMAP. We discuss the implications of available data, in particular for the cosmic thermal history at redshifts of a few tens; and the prospects for the forthcoming space experiments, also in connection with Galactic foreground contamination and cosmic-variance limits.

Abstract
We review the major advance in cosmology due to the detection of polarization in the cosmic background radiation by DASI and WMAP. We discuss the implications of available data, in particular for the cosmic thermal history at redshifts of a few tens; and the prospects for the forthcoming space experiments, also in connection with Galactic foreground contamination and cosmic-variance limits.
