Cosmology
Cosmology is the study of the large-scale structure and history of the universe. In particular, it deals with subjects regarding its origin. It is studied by Astronomy, Philosophy, and Religion. See also cosmogony.
Cosmology is a branch of science which studies the evolution of our universe. A scientist who studies cosmology is called a cosmologist. Cosmologists want to know what the Universe was like billions of years ago.
Cosmology deals with one of mankind's earliest questions: what is the nature of the world? Ancient civilizations believed that Earth was flat, and covered with a spherical dome on which the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars resided.
Cosmology is the study of the overall structure of the universe. And just what is the Universe? Quite simply, it is everything that exists. However, from Earth we cannot observe everything in the Universe.

On a clear, moonless night, one can often see a hazy, luminous band stretching across the sky. The ancients devised many fanciful myths to account for this "milky way.

Parallax Activity is part of a much larger Teacher's Guide to the Universe, prepared for the WMAP cosmology mission.
Observations show that the galaxies in the universe are on average moving away from one another; this is the motivation for the Big Bang theory of cosmology.
With observing time on several telescopes around the world, the Supernova Cosmology Project was able to test and improve its techniques.
The presence of a background radiation which has a temperature, spectrum and uniformity consistent with Big Bang cosmology and inflation, is extremely difficult to produce by any other means.

Hubble -- Edwin Powell Hubble (1889-1953) American astronomer known for seminal work in modern cosmology.
hummocky -- Uneven; describing a terrain abounding in irregular knolls, mounds, or other small elevations.
In cosmology, it is defined as
H = (da/dt)/a, where a is the 4-radius of the Universe. When evaluated for the present, it is written H0 = Hnow.
The terms relate to the Hubble Space Telescope; to its discoveries, technology, operations, and partners; and to astronomy, physics, and cosmology in general. We hope you'll find it useful.
- The most interesting feature in the Mexican cosmology is the theory of the ages of the world. Greece, Persia and probably Babylon, knew of four such ages. ?
think that the Universe will end in a Big Crunch. A handy way of saying that it will contract until it doesn't exist anymore. That will be followed by a Big Bang and a new Universe will begin. This is the basis for the cyclic version of cosmology.
Measurements from particle detectors and other instruments on several NOAA and NASA spacecraft were either degraded or temporarily shut down. The Japanese Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA) was sent tumbling in orbit.
Spaceborne radio telescopes, infrared telescopes and visible-light telescopes will be flown in exacting formation to synthesize large apertures for many different types of investigations in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology.
