100 Years of Cosmology 

by Malcolm Longair 

"Malcolm Longair describes the development of a subject that was little better than science fiction 200 years ago when the RAS was founded, to our present understanding of the origins of what we see on the largest scale in the universe today – a triumph of experimental, instrumental, observational and theoretical astronomy." 

Astronomy & Geophysics, Volume 61, Issue 1, February 2020

by Max Tegmark 

"Cosmologists believe the Universe will expand forever, but our powers to observe it will not accelerate at the same rate. What does this mean for the future of astronomy?" 

Nature, Volume 415, pages 374–375, 2002
