  The Extended Self-Similarity (ESS) of cosmic microwave background (CMB)
radiation has been studied using recent data obtained by the space-craft based
Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Using the ESS and the high angular scale
resolution (arcminutes) of the data it is shown that the CMB temperature space
{\it increments} exhibit considerable and systematic declination from
Gaussianity for high order moments at the small angular scales. Moreover, the
CMB space increment ESS exponents have remarkably close values to the ESS
exponents observed in turbulence (in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence).
