We. 27 September -- Dr. Ned Wright (UCLA) [SESE colloquium]
``What's New in Cosmology?''
ABSTRACT: A century ago, during Einstein's miracle year, we only knew that the sky was dark at night. Now we have a wealth of data about the Universe, much of it from the last decade and even the last year. And a dark energy and dark matter dominated critical density model with a scale-invariant primordial density perturbation power spectrum is still a good fit to all of the data.
