It's been an absolutely mad dash getting the Planck data and papers ready for this release, and I'm extremely pleased with our results. I've only worked on Planck a couple of years, but for many it's the culmination of 15 or more years of work!

Some of my personal favourite results:

No evidence for extensions to the standard 6-parameter model of cosmology.

No sign of non-Gaussianity, which means we can rule out huge classes of models of inflation (a very early stage of the Universe).

New ways of probing structure in the distant Universe (so-called ISW and lensing effects).

No sign of the so-called "dark flow" and extremely tight constraints on inhomogeneous cosmologies.

Detection of Doppler effect and aberration in the CMB (that's the cold, leftover light from the big bang).
