Observational Cosmology Laboratory
The Observational Cosmology Laboratory
uses the scientific method to understand the origin, evolution and ultimate fate of the Universe, including: 1) what powered the big bang, 2) the size, shape, and
matter-energy content of the Universe, 3) when the first stars and galaxies appeared and their evolution with Cosmic Time, and 4) the nature of the mysterious
dark energy that is driving the universe apart.
