Articles<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

Kruesi, L. \"Cosmology: 5 Things You Need to Know.\" Astronomy<\/em> (May 2007): 28. Five questions students often ask, and how modern cosmologists answer them.<\/p>\r\n

Kruesi, L. \"How Planck Has Redefined the Universe.\" Astronomy<\/em> (October 2013): 28. Good review of what this space mission has told us about the CMB and the universe.<\/p>\r\n

Lineweaver, C. & Davis, T. \"Misconceptions about the Big Bang.\" Scientific American<\/em> (March 2005): 36. Some basic ideas about modern cosmology clarified, using general relativity.<\/p>\r\n

Nadis, S. \"Sizing Up Inflation.\" Sky & Telescope<\/em> (November 2005): 32. Nice review of the origin and modern variants on the inflationary idea.<\/p>\r\n

Nadis, S. \"How We Could See Another Universe.\" Astronomy<\/em> (June 2009): 24. On modern ideas about multiverses and how such bubbles of space-time might collide.<\/p>\r\n

Nadis, S. \"Dark Energy\u2019s New Face: How Exploding Stars Are Changing our View.\" Astronomy<\/em> (July 2012): 45. About our improving understanding of the complexities of type Ia supernovae.<\/p>\r\n

Pendrick, D. \"Is the Big Bang in Trouble?\" Astronomy<\/em> (April 2009): 48. This sensationally titled article is really more of a quick review of how modern ideas and observations are fleshing out the Big Bang hypothesis (and raising questions.)<\/p>\r\n

Reddy, F. \"How the Universe Will End.\" Astronomy<\/em> (September 2014): 38. Brief discussion of local and general future scenarios.<\/p>\r\n
