Cosmology -- A collection of links. Visit

Cosmology Books & Links -- Annotated list of books, articles, and websites from a popular course at Sonoma State University. Visit

Tufts Institute of Cosmology -- The Cosmology group at Tufts University with links to other cosmology sites Visit

Phantom Energy & Cosmic Doomsday -- Phantom energy, with negative sum of pressure & energy density, could lead to the universe tearing itself apart in a 'Big Rip'. Visit

Good Cosmology Sites -- Links to cosmology resources, and a tutorial by a UCLA professor. Visit

Introduction to Cosmology -- These notes form an introduction to cosmology with special emphasis on large scale structure, the cmb anisotropy & inflation. In some places a basic familiarity with particle physics is assumed, but otherwise no special knowledge is needed. Visit

MACHO Project -- Primary aim is to test the hypothesis that a significant fraction of the dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way is made up of objects like brown dwarfs or planets: these objects have come to be known as MACHOs, for MAssive Compact Halo Objects. Visit

COBE -- The Cosmic Background Explorer satellite. Instruments, scientific results, related links. Visit

Cambridge Cosmology Homepage -- A site dedicated to cosmology, both basic & advanced, maintained by Cambridge university Visit

Ned Wright's Cosmology Tutorial -- An illustrated introductory guide to the topic, attempting to summarize modern discoveries on the origin, current state, and future of our Universe. Visit

Supernova Cosmology Project -- This Berkeley labs site is based on observation of red shift in stars going supernova. Visit

Revved-Up Universe -- Astronomers are convinced that the expansion of the Universe accelerates. Visit

Cosmology made Simple -- A brief, non-mathematical introduction to modern cosmology. Visit

Sloan Digital Sky Survey -- A dedicated 2.5 meter telescope which uses sensitive electronic light detectors to systematically map a ¼ of the sky, building a catalog of celestial objects, galaxies, and quasars. Visit

MSAM/TopHat High Altitude Scientific Balloons -- A series of scientic experiments flying as balloon payloads in Texas & Antarctica, designed to measure the medium-scale anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). Visit

Max Tegmark -- Cosmologist's personal site including discussions of movies, experiments, and data analysis efforts. Visit
