Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories showed that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate, implying that some day - in the very distant future - anyone looking at the night sky would see only our Galaxy and its stars..
Cosmology studies how the history of the universe led to the stars, galaxies, and other features we can observe today.
Cosmology is the study of the origin, development, structure, history, and future of the entire universe..
Welcome to the Center for Theoretical and Observational Cosmology.
The goal of the Cosmology Center is to enhance our understanding of the large scale structure of the universe using multi-wavelength surveys, computer simulations and fundamental theories, and by confronting theoretical paradigms with observations..
Observing a mass of closely associated stars, such as in a globular cluster, allows data to be assembled about the distribution of stellar types.
These tables can then be used to infer the age of the association..
