Abstract Some physical effects producing Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies are briefly described. The CMB angular power spectrum is calculated -in appropriate cases- with the essential aim of estimating and comparing the effects produced by reionization and gravitational waves; thus a problem of Cosmic Confusion is pointed out. Accurate measurements of the CMB polarization could solve this problem in future. Some comments about the PLANCK mission —ESA project for anisotropy detection— are given.
